   Jane Alcock, RN, BSN, CNOR, knows exactly what Pritchard meant when she spoke of unease and uncertainty amid an ongoing disaster. As RN manager-perioperative services, Alcock was forced to deal with flooding, no electricity and then spreading mold and mildew in the sweltering heat and humidity after Hurricane Rita struck near her facility at Louisiana State University's Walter O. Moss Regional Medical Center in Lake Charles, La., in 2005.
   
   "Staff were dispersed everywhere, and places like sterile processing were hit hard," she recalls. "We had to get rid of most of the inventory and find table-top sterilizers to get things up and running," she says. "But, we eventually got staff back a little bit at a time, and now we have better emergency plans in place and have regular in-services on disaster preparedness."
   
   Planning for the unexpected Both Pritchard and Alcock, above all, stress the need for better communication with staff through regular training.
