Abstract

Prior planning for and problems associated with the evacuation of 1,860 nursing home patients in Pinellas County, Florida, due to Hurricane Elena in 1985 were studied through questionnaires administered to nursing home administrators and public documents. The most serious problems were transporting patients to shelters in a timely fashion, delayed passage of recalled staff through police checkpoints, and staff burnout.
