abstract="There is an ever-present threat of large-scale incidents and disasters, such as terrorism and natural disasters.- Preparation and planning are the key to successful response to major incidents and disasters, which is why education, training sessions and exercises take place in the Netherlands.- Analysis of recent large-scale incidents in Europe and the USA emphasises the importance of adequate distribution of the wounded to centres where the correct care can be provided.- A major step has been taken in the Netherlands to provide for such an eventuality with the introduction of distribution plans for the wounded, and other initiatives such as a regional hospital disaster plan.- If a large-scale incident should take place the Netherlands also has a Major Incident Hospital at its disposal; this is a unique facility that can guarantee availability of 200 spare beds to the Netherlands healthcare system within 30 minutes.<p /> <p>Language: nl</p>",
