Record #:
8282
Abstract:
North Carolina responded to the Hurricane Katrina disaster by deploying the State Medical Assistance Team (SMAT) to Waveland, Mississippi. Rudisill helped lead the first deployment of the field hospital, and her article describes what took place. North Carolina's response was so effective that the SMAT effort is now recognized nationally as a model system for disaster response.
