Primary care (PC) physicians are uniquely positioned to respond to acute community health needs during disasters. Hurricane XXX struck XXX, causing widespread infrastructure damage, displacement, and disruption of essential services. A small multidisciplinary medical team was deployed to support affected communities. This presentation describes the experience of a family-medicine–led mission, highlighting the role of PC in addressing immediate and emerging health needs in a low-resource, post-disaster environment.The deployment included three physicians (two PC physicians), two social workers, and a team leader. Over 14 days, the team delivered mobile primary care services, adressing medication shortages, and logistical challenges. Data were collected through field logs, structured observations, daily team debriefings. Qualitative analysis identified recurring themes regarding health needs, system gaps, and team functioning in unstable conditionsUnlike large-scale humanitarian missions, this deployment relied on a small, agile team working in remote areas with limited infrastructure. The presentation provides firsthand insights into how primary care-trained clinicians can rapidly adapt their scope of practice, provide person-centered care even in unstable conditions. It emphasizes the critical and often under-recognized leadership role of PC physicians in disaster response.Core lessons: value of PC skills—triage, chronic and acute disease management, mental-health support, and preventive care—in disaster settings. importance of flexibility, cultural humility, and close collaboration with local health providers. ability to avluate and treat medical situattions in a wide range of health and sickness Future implications include developing training modules for family physicians on disaster medicine, creating rapid-deployment frameworks for small teams, and strengthening international partnerships for coordinated responses.This reinforces that disasters generate not only acute injuries but also significant primary care needs: exacerbations of chronic illnesses, medication interruptions, infectious disease risks, and psychosocial distress. Family physicians can uniquely bridge acute care and continuity care, ensuring holistic, community-based response strategies. The findings suggest that even small teams can have substantial impact when guided by PC principles.The XXX mission underscores the clinical versatility and leadership capacity of PC physicians in disaster response. Strengthening the integration of primary care into disaster preparedness frameworks can enhance community resilience and improve health outcomes in future crises.
