The analysis examines the opportunities and obstacles experienced by first responders to providing patient-centered care within the first 48-hours following the EF-5 Joplin-Duquesne tornado that struck on May 22, 2011 in Joplin, Missouri. The one mile wide tornado struck with winds exceeding 200 mph at 5:34 pm and ravaged a six mile path through parts of Joplin and Duquesne Missouri killing 141 people, destroying more than 2,000 buildings, and displacing over 10,000 people in a matter of minutes.
