After the Marmara earthquake, when disaster is mentioned, only the earthquake events were perceived. Earthquake is an important subject. However floods, terrorism, fire, industrial accidents are also in the scope of disaster medicine. If we want to reach the modern society level, we ought to have the capacity to access every aggrieved person at the areas of disaster and we must be able to resolve victimization. At the time of disaster, first reaction to it is chaos. However the intensity of this chaos can be reduced by a planned and organized approach. In cases of disaster, the health services at disaster medicine are very different than individual health services. In any unusual situation at the hospital, the emergency service is either effected or plays a big role in resolving the problem. In this study, preparation and development of a Hospital Disaster Plan which will respond to the needs by determining the disasters and crisis situations of one Government Hospital occurred until today and the course of integration of all of the hospital personnel to the consciousness of applying the Hospital Disaster Plan throughout the years will be explained.
