NDMS Plan

The NDMS (National Disaster Medical System) Plan is a coordinated strategy that prepares and guides the U.S. government and healthcare providers to respond effectively to large-scale emergencies, such as natural disasters or major incidents. It outlines how medical resources—like personnel, supplies, and facilities—are mobilized and deployed quickly to treat affected populations. The goal is to provide timely, organized medical care, support disaster recovery, and minimize health impacts, ensuring a unified response across federal, state, and local agencies during crises.
