Subject: Chaos cannot be prevented during the first minutes of a major accident or disaster. But it has to be the aim of every disaster operation plan to keep this time as short as possible. However, due to a great number of patients there may be pressure to practice disaster medicine and thereby to reduce the quality of medical treatment in the interest of a greater number of surviving people. But under all circumstances, also in the case of disaster, individual medicine in the hospital should be maintained. An appropriate and effective organization in the disaster area should result in the survival and recuperation of as many patients as possible and, a proportional distribution of patients to several hospitals
