Texas Disaster Medical System

The Texas Disaster Medical System is a coordinated network designed to provide emergency medical care during large-scale disasters, such as natural or human-made events. It involves hospitals, emergency services, and government agencies working together to ensure timely, effective treatment and resource allocation. The system prepares for surge capacity, manages patient distribution, and coordinates communication across different entities to save lives and reduce health impacts. Its goal is to ensure that all Texans receive appropriate medical attention, even in crisis situations where resources are stretched thin.
