Maybe the last place to think of in terms of survival but maybe not.A few years back I was in the hospital for a few weeks.I was fully mobile and was there,not home,for insurance reasons.Anyway I noticed something in the hospital-no spinkler system.I mentioned this to one of the nurses-I didn't have a lot to occupy myself with,and was told in the event of a fire they move all the patients to one side of the hospital.The floor I was on had,for the most part,alot of non-mobile patients and especially at night looked to be under staffed.In the event of a major disaster(natural or man-made)hospitals could at the very least be secondary targets.Putting the whole first response program in the area in jeopardy and causing greater panic and/or casualties.During my stay I had very limited access to supplies(only what was in my wallet,on my keyring and in my pockets(flashlights,compass,etc)and do to parking restirctions a family member had taken my car home for me and picked me up.Of course,clothing was limited-although I did have a few changes of real clothes brought to me.Depending on the extent of the disaster a hospital may not be the place to be-but one can't pick their location in every instance.If you know you're going in for a stay,no matter how brief what do you think you'd bring along just in case the worst happens at the hospital after you're already there.Looking back I'd bring a backpack full of some essentials but obviouisly not all could be taken-the staff may even insist on seeing what I did bring.Can you be prepared for anything there or are you merely in the wrong place at the wrong time?
