The ability of a hospital's services to function without interruption during a disaster is a matter of life and death. Thus, hospitals must withstand the impact of any natural, human-made or technical disasters, to the extent that medical systems are not damaged and vital interior infrastructures are maintained, and that health personnel are able to continue providing medical assistance in the event that facilities are isolated by the impact of the disaster. The focus of this paper is to investigate the continuous operations of hospitals which were mostly impacted by the 921 earthquake in 1999, the flood of Trami and Nari Typhoon in 2001 respectively. Other interruptions to operations, such as those experienced due to drought or the failure of information systems, are also examined. The data collected focuses mainly on non-structural safety aspects with the emphasis on functional capacity which extracted in accordance with the requirements of "Safe Hospital," as proposed by the World Health Organization. Functional capacities of continuous operations in hospitals such as power supply, communications, water, fuel for generators, medical gases, medical resources, first aid equipment, and response organization were collected for analysis. Statistical methods were employed to correlate and test for significant differences between variables; to explore the explanatory parameters that would influence a hospital's continuous operation; to establish explanatory models for service interruption during or after a disaster. The study also proposes a method to estimate the impact of utility interruption in hospitals. Further research would help in building a better understanding of the correlation between, and testing for, significant differences in various medical systems based on a variety of disasters. It is anticipated this would provide the basis for future policies useful to health authorities in the improvement of hospital's continuous operation during or after disasters.
