We have evaluated the disaster contingency plans for 62 out of 69 Norwegian hospitals with surgical, acute emergency functions. Page volume varied from 2-115, mean 33 pages. Only nine hospitals had pocket size printed documents (A5). At the rest of the hospitals the plans had an A4-format and consisted of photocopied pages. Illustrations were few and of low quality. Too much text contained general information with no practical relevant instruction. Readability varied for different groups of health workers. Doctors received the best instructions for their tasks. Hospitals should seek professional assistance to edit, illustrate and produce the plans, and a certain degree of standardization of the plans should be aimed at. National health authorities should encourage the hospitals in this work.
