Abstract
Numerous disasters such as earthquake, flood, tsunami, and war bring about broad crises that cause numerous physical, mental and psychological damages. Iran is also prone to various disasters and needs to be equipped for their management. The aim of this brief report is sharing the experience gained by facing the limitations in establishing a field hospital and emphasizing the need to take necessary measures for being properly equipped in facing probable problems arising at times of disaster. Based on the findings of the present study, not giving enough budget to holding maneuvers for preparing against disasters, shortage of proper tents for establishing a field hospital, mismanagement of volunteers, problems in preparing food for the staff, security problems, and difficulties in holding discipline were among the most important problems arising in establishing a field hospital in this maneuver.- واحدهای بهداشتی سیار؛ بلایا؛ برنامه ریزی بلایا؛ آمادگی
