Nurses and healthcare workers must take responsibility for their preparedness which includes family care and communication strategies to ensure they can focus on implementing their hospital disaster plan without the added burden of worrying about their family's safety. The author was able to use this component of preparedness when planning her hospital's NICU COVID-19 response.	./cache/cord-304036-4l17twbc.txt	./txt/cord-304036-4l17twbc.txt
