This paper tries to prepare a “preparedness plan book” which can be used as a ready reckoner in case of disaster strikes. This is particularly meant for mortuary services but can also be used as a guide for other health care services as well. It covers the anticipation of the problem, role of mortuary services, requirements and their procurements in the hour of need. It also deals with some relevant ethical and legal issues.
