Implementing a bioterrorism response plan in your pharmacy.
Pharmacies and other types of health care facilities need emergency response plans. Pharmacists need to stay current on biologic and other agents that can be used as agents of mass destruction and their clinical management. Local plans should incorporate federal resources that can be used in emergencies, but the time required for these resources to be organized, delivered, and distributed needs to be considered. Pharmacists are urged to assist with inventories of available health care facilities, supplies, and medications. Planning needs to be coordinated with local emergency preparedness officials.
