Answer:

1) A motor vehicle accident involving five cars.

Step-by-step explanation:

This event can be handled by an individual hospital disaster plan because the accident is not massive and does not require government support. The spread of disaster is localized and there is no danger of transmission to wider suburbs such as an epidemic. Moreover, massive injuries and casualties are not possible such as in case of a tornado, hurricane and an act of terrorism which needs simultaneous public health support, community help and state machinery to control the situation. Therefore, an individual hospital disaster plan is sufficient to deal with injuries and prevent casualties in case of accident involving many cars.
