Assessment 3 Instructions: Disaster Recovery Plan
Develop a disaster recovery plan to lessen health disparities and improve access to community services after a
disaster. Then, develop and record a 10-12 slide presentation (please refer to the PowerPoint tutorial) of the plan
with audio and speaker notes for the Vila Health system, city officials, and the disaster relief team.
As you begin to prepare this assessment, you are encouraged to complete the Disaster Preparedness and
Management activity. The information gained from completing this activity will help you succeed with the
assessment as you think through key issues in disaster preparedness and management in the community or
workplace. Completing activities is also a way to demonstrate engagement.
Professional Context Professional Context
Nurses perform a variety of roles and their responsibilities as health care providers extend to the community. The
decisions we make daily and in times of crisis often involve the balancing of human rights with medical necessities,
equitable access to services, legal and ethical mandates, and financial constraints. In the event of a major accident
or natural disaster, many issues can complicate decisions concerning the needs of an individual or group, including
understanding and upholding rights and desires, mediating conflict, and applying established ethical and legal
standards of nursing care. As a nurse, you must be knowledgeable about disaster preparedness and recovery to
safeguard those in your care. As an advocate, you are also accountable for promoting equitable services and quality
care for the diverse community.
Nurses work alongside first responders, other professionals, volunteers, and the health department to safeguard the
community. Some concerns during a disaster and recovery period include the possibility of death and infectious
disease due to debris and/or contamination of the water, air, food supply, or environment. Various degrees of injury
may also occur during disasters, terrorism, and violent conflicts.
To maximize survival, first responders must use a triage system to assign victims according to the severity of their
condition/prognosis in order to allocate equitable resources and provide treatment. During infectious disease
outbreaks, triage does not take the place of routine clinical triage.
Trace-mapping becomes an important step to interrupting the spread of all infectious diseases to prevent or curtail
morbidity and mortality in the community. A vital step in trace-mapping is the identification of the infectious
individual or group and isolating or quarantining them. During the trace-mapping process, these individuals are
interviewed to identify those who have had close contact with them. Contacts are notified of their potential
exposure, testing referrals become paramount, and individuals are connected with appropriate services they might
need during the self-quarantine period (CDC, 2020).

An example of such disaster is the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020. People who had contact with someone who were
in contact with the COVID-19 virus were encouraged to stay home and maintain social distance (at least 6 feet) from
others until 14 days after their last exposure to a person with COVID-19. Contacts were required to monitor
themselves by checking their temperature twice daily and watching for symptoms of COVID-19 (CDC, 2020). Local,
state, and health department guidelines were essential in establishing the recovery phase. Triage Standard
Operating Procedure (SOP) in the case of COVID-19 focused on inpatient and outpatient health care facilities that
would be receiving, or preparing to receive, suspected, or confirmed COVID- 19 victims. Controlling droplet
transmission through hand washing, social distancing, self-quarantine, PPE, installing barriers, education, and
standardized triage algorithm/questionnaires became essential to the triage system (CDC, 2020; WHO, 2020).
This assessment provides an opportunity for you to apply the concepts of emergency preparedness, public health
assessment, triage, management, and surveillance after a disaster. You will also focus on evacuation, extended
displacement periods, and contact tracing based on the disaster scenario provided.

Preparation Preparation
When disaster strikes, community members must be protected. A comprehensive recovery plan, guided by the
MAP-IT (Mobilize, Assess, Plan, Implement, Track) framework, is essential to help ensure everyone’s safety. The
unique needs of residents must be assessed to lessen health disparities and improve access to equitable services

after a disaster. Recovery efforts depend on the appropriateness of the plan, the extent to which key stakeholders
have been prepared, the quality of the trace-mapping, and the allocation of available resources. In a time of cost
containment, when personnel and resources may be limited, the needs of residents must be weighed carefully
against available r esources.
In this assessment, you are a community task force member responsible for developing a disaster recovery plan for
the Vila Health community using MAP-IT and tra ce-mapping, which you will present to city officials and the disaster
relief team.
To prepare for the assessment, complete the Vila Health: Disaster Recovery Scenario simulation.
In addition, you are encouraged to complete the Disaster Preparedness and Management activity. The information
gained from completing this activity will help you succeed with the assessment as you think through key issues in
disaster preparedness and management in the community or workplace. Completing activities is also a way to
demonstrate engagement.
Begin thinking about:
Community needs.
Resources, personnel, budget, and community makeup.
People accountable for implementation of the disaster recovery plan.
Healthy People 2020 goals.
A timeline for the recovery effort.
You may also wish to:
Review the MAP-IT (Mobilize, Assess, Plan, Implement, Track) framework, which you will use to guide the
development of your plan:
Mobilize collaborative partners.
Assess community needs.
Plan to lessen health disparities and improve access to services.
Implement a plan to reach Healthy People 2020 objectives.
Track community progress.
Review the assessment instructions and scoring guide to ensure that you understand the work you will be
asked to complete.
Note: Remember that you can submit all, or a portion of, your draft recovery plan to Smarthinking Tutoring for
feedback, before you submit the final version for this assessment. If you plan on using this free service, be mindful
of the turnaround time of 24–48 hours for receiving feedback.
Note: If you require the use of assistive technology or alternative communication methods to participate in this
activity, please contact DisabilityServices@capella.edu to request accommodations.
