Scenario: You are a 300 bed hospital and have been able to move or discharge most of your patients but you still have 80 patients in-house and you can anticipate receiving laboring mothers and individuals for whom stress/health related conditions or injury will require admission. Additionally, you are responsible for feeding around 50 essential staff.

Power lines are down but you have electricity from your hospital generator.

1. What considerations must be made? (needs of population, food supplies, available staff, water supplies, etc.)

2. Plan a meal for the people you are responsible for

3. 24 hrs later, your generator broke down. You are now without any electricity. How will you adjust your plan?
