at cnn security desk in d.c. jeanne, interesting story. this one doesn t strike everybody as a security story but if there is some kind of a national disaster, whether it s natural or whether it s a terrorist threat, i think most people want to know, are our hospitals prepared to handle it. according to this new report, they are not. we ve just seen a cat at&t tastrophic health event down in haiti where you had tens of thousands of people injured in that earthquake. and the local system health care system was completely overwhelmed. according to this report from the center for biosecurity at the university of pittsburgh medical center, this country has never seen anything along those lines, nothing that catastrophic but it could happen. it could be a natural catastrophe like an earthquake or a nuclear destination. they say although there has been significant improvement in preparedness in the health care system, we still aren t ready to handle something like that.
