Abstract
- This paper describes one nurse's story of the evacuation of patients in Queensland during the event of a major category 5 cyclone in February 2011. The lessons learned include the importance of communication, both manual and electronic records, clothing, medication and personal requirements, accommodation and transport needs, and the need for extensive culturally appropriate emotional and family support.
