In a severe disaster <br />event, there may be thousands of injuries that require immediate health care. Hospitals need to be <br />operational to fulfill this need during the response phase of the disaster. Additionally, hospitals and <br />other health care facilities (general practice, pharmacies, assisted living homes, etc.) must continue to <br />support the patients they were serving before the event. Hospitals and assisted living homes cannot be <br />evacuated like other buildings because of the detrimental impact it could have on patients. Pharmacies <br />and non-acute care facilities must remain functional to provide those with existing health needs with <br />necessary services. <br />In 1973, as a direct result from the 1971 Sylmar earthquake, during which a hospital collapsed, California <br />passed the Alfred E. Alquist Hospital Seismic Safety Act, to require acute care hospitals be designed to <br />remain standing and operational immediately after an earthquake.2 The law was amended after the <br />1994 Northridge earthquake, to include the evaluation and rating of hospital compliance with the law. <br />All hospitals are required to be compliant with the law by 2030. This law is specific to acute care <br />hospital buildings, and only addresses the earthquake hazard. Other health care facilities are not <br />required to be designed or retrofit to a higher level. <br /> <br />San Leandro Hospitals <br /> <br />Jones Convalescent Hospital <br />524 Callan Ave, San Leandro, CA <br />510-483-6200 <br /> <br />San Leandro Hospital <br />13855 E 14th St, San Leandro, CA <br />510-357-6500 <br /> <br />San Leandro Hospitals Continued <br /> <br /> <br />2 OSHPD (2005)
