The case study that we use for this course is the “Granitetown Disaster”. ( I was risk the Manager )In this
case a train carrying chlorine gas in tank cars is leaving the chlorine factory. The factory is old and is in thecenter of Granitetown, a town of 15,000. As the train leaves, it goes onto a sidetrack and gains speed.
Rounding a turn, the engineer sees a lone stationary locomotive on the same track. It is too late, the train
cannot be stopped. As it hits the locomotive several train cars derail and one splits open, releasing chlorine
gas into the community.
Fire and rescue personnel respond to the scene and 15 people, including the engineer and 2 others on the
train are taken to the St. James Hospital. Of the 15 victims, 13 are decontaminated and then admitted. Two
are decontaminated and released. St. James is a 100 bed hospital that serves Williams County (65,000
population). The next closest hospitals are in Groveton Memorial – (50 miles, 300 beds and regional trauma
center). There is also a private orthopedic specialty hospital (OrthoBEST) that is 20 miles away in the town
of Spencerville (40 beds). All three hospitals are at 85% occupancy.
Over the next several days there are 20, 13, 17 people coming to the St. James ER complaining of
respiratory problems, presumably related to the chlorine gas release. Of these 50 ER patients, there is a
need to admit 16 of them. At this point the hospital has 98 of 100 beds filled, therefore urgent discharge
plans and some transfer plans are put into place, to accommodate those needing admission.
The other 34 ER patients are told to follow-up with the private pulmonary medicine practice (Granitetown
Pulmonary) within a week. St. James Hospital owns the Granitetown Pulmonary practice. Granitetown
Pulmonary has 2 physicians and 1 nurse practitioner. At the time of this event, one physician is on an
African safari and the nurse practitioner had a premature baby 3 days earlier.
Three nurses and one tech from the ER decon team have symptoms of weakness, lightheadness and
nausea and must be out of work for 3 days each.
Consider the safety, personnel, supply, facility and other issues for the St. James Admin team to respond to
