Destruction whether natural or manmade can occur at any moment, in 2010, Haiti was devastated by a catastrophic earthquake. All nursing interventions would be secondary and tertiary prevention measures since primary prevention would occur before the catastrophe.

Tertiary prevention includes managing the disease or injury and includes slowing the disease progression and would include amputations. Diary Of Medical Mission Trip
