Abstract
Major disasters which cause a large number of injuries — such as an earthquake — create a serious problem if large areas are involved. Mostly, the local hospitals are damaged and overrun by the enormous number of patients seeking help. Medical care delivery teams cannot use partially damaged or spared buildings because of the danger of a second quake.
