摘要

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of Hurricane Ivan, which made landfall east of Mobile, Alabama, on September 16, 2004, on pharmacies in the affected areas. DESIGN: Retrospective cross-sectional analysis. SETTING: Baldwin County, Alabama. INTERVENTIONS: Pharmacy community rapid-needs-assessment survey. PARTICIPANTS: 41 hospital and community (chain and independent) pharmacies. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Posthurricane pharmacy hours of operations, prescription volumes, infrastructure damage, and prehurricane disaster planning. RESULTS: During the week of the hurricane, both chain and independent community pharmacies within the evacuation zone worked significantly fewer hours (46% and 49%, respectively) and dispensed significantly fewer prescriptions (37% and 52%) compared with the same week of the prior year. Overall, 40% of pharmacies depleted their supplies of certain medications (e.g., anxiolytics, antihypertensives). A total of 60% of the chain and independent pharmacies outside the evacuation zone closed because of loss of electricity, but pharmacies with a generator were significantly less likely to report having turned away patients. The proportion of pharmacies that had a disaster plan but turned away patients or rationed or ran out of medications was similar to that of pharmacies without a disaster plan. CONCLUSION: Although Hurricane Ivan primarily affected the operation of pharmacies within the evacuation zone, pharmacies in the surrounding area were also affected because of loss of power. Emergency management officials should evaluate the efficacy of specific guidelines outlined in disaster plans and identify ways to deliver essential medications to people in disaster-affected areas.
