This report describes selected aspects of the health professions workforce at the federal, state, and local levels who would respond to a catastrophic domestic natural disaster (a theoretical earthquake scenario was used). It includes recommendations regarding double counting of responders; volunteer failure to respond; an aging medical workforce; human capital development (e.g., cross-training among professionals); supporting professionals so they may respond; and readiness.
