A large part of the Hazard Vulnerability Assessment (HVA) carried out by hospitals and healthcare organizations focuses on events that have a "geographic" attribute -- whether the events are external or internal, where the facility is located, where the event occurs, how to move people/supplies from where they are to where they need to be -- all require actions for which "location" should be considered in your decisions.
