Series hospitals safe from disasters, n° 1:
This guide provides an orientation to the Hospital Safety Index and facilitates the determination of the hospital’s capacity to continue providing services after a natural adverse event, and guides necessary intervention actions to increase the hospital’s safety in case of disasters.
The Hospital Safety Index provides an overview of the probability of a hospital or health facility remaining operational in emergency situations taking into account the environment and the health services network to which it belongs.
While this document was developed for health service facilities, it can be used as a reference to evaluate other public services and facilities carrying out the corresponding technical adaptations and taking into account national and international standards.
