Abstract:

A number of brazilian municipalities have been affected by disasters in recent years. Municipal managers must invest in preparedness to mitigate the impact of events and to assuage damages. Disaster preparedness should be carried out in various sectors, including the health sector, of which pharmaceutical services (PS) are a part. Our objective is to describe and analyze PS preparedness in municipalities recently burdened by disasters. An investigation with a sectional design, involving various sources (official documents, newspaper articles, public databases and interviews with key PS informants) was carried out in five municipalities, in two different regions. Analysis was based on a logic model and indicators. Despite the fact that, historically, these municipalities are disaster-prone, very few measures of preparedness of PS were identified, evidence that management of PS has not been able to keep up. We expect that the presentation of the experiences of these municipalities might favor preparedness of PS in other Brazilian municipalities.
