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