Abstract
After initially defining "community health-emergency planning," this paper proposes research directions that would contribute to the security of healthcare systems, by mitigating disastrous emergencies and by preparing for them. The topics covered are: (1) Hazard-resistant healthcare facilities, (2) biodetection and syndrome surveillance, (3) diagnosis and investigation, (4) stockpiling, (5) disease containment, (6) patient movement, (7) mass decontamination and prophylaxis, (8) mass care, and (9) information and communication.
