Drills help Medical Center Hospital in Odessa, Texas, prepare for the worst, according to an article on the Odessa American website.
At the beginning of every year, the hospital makes a Hazardous Vulnerability Assessment.
Hospital officials look at the training conducted with staff and the resources that would help if a certain event occurred. The assessment offers a percentage of how prepared the hospital is for the actual event.
It then drills on manmade and natural disasters. The facility also tries to maintain supplies to be self sufficient for 96 hours.
