Our hospital did not know what the disaster would be ahead of time. We do have a real disaster stock area in our store room where we keep thousands of dosages of each drug that would be needed should a chemical disaster strike. (we do get some reimbursement from the Goverment for having them in stock) In this case we pulled all the drugs that we would need (each different color jelly bean) and brought them all into our Pharmacy conference room where a group of techs each took one drug and started prepacking. We pulled our techs and had a little assembly line going. As each drug was packaged it was run up to the central command area. When we had a sufficent number of each drug they started dispensing them. We continued prepackaging more until they told us that they had enough to give each victim their meds. It was rather a whirlwind in the department but everyone pitched in and it did work pretty smooth.
It's always good to hear of a department pulling together like yours did. Maybe you could share some of your procedures by writing an article about the experience. With the fires in California now, it might be a great way to get some other buyers to prepare in a similar fashion.
