Preparedness for Disaster Response: An Assessment of Northeast Romanian Emergency Healthcare Workers

Focus should be placed on identifying barriers and enhancing training delivery, strengthening institutional involvement in staff preparedness, and improving inter-professional collaborations. Adequate training methods must be developed and validated in further studies.
