Summary As a result of imminent flood conditions expected from a hurricane, South Beach Psychiatric Center implemented emergency procedures and evacuated 200 psychiatric inpatients to a state developmental center five miles away. Following the evacuation, it was decided that a study of the experience would provide valuable management information regarding staff and patient behavior and hospital emergency procedures. The study, based on interviews with 12 patients and 12 staff members, revealed that the principles of crisis theory can be applied at the institutional level. In addition, it was found that the “expected” model of the organizational structure was revealed under stress.
