Introduction: Health Care Facilities (EAS) provide the population with comprehensive, curative and preventative medical care. They are vital for disaster recovery. A study carried out by the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) has shown that damaged EAS causes significant damage to the infrastructure and service delivery of the public health system, disrupting health care to the population. The WHO/PAHO Safe Hospital Initiative aims to build more secure EAS, and to recover the existing infrastructure, keeping its services running at full capacity, and the same infrastructure, immediately after a disaster strikes. Objective: To evaluate RDC nº 50/02 and Resolutions that update it, considering the Safe Hospital initiative. Method: Documental research on the resolutions of the National Agency of Sanitary Surveillance (Anvisa) and the initiatives of Safe Hospital. Results: In the “Health Legis” database of the Ministry of Health, four resolutions were found. In the WHOLIS database (WHO/PAHO), 45 publications were found. Conclusions: None official documents were found in the WHOLIS and Health Legis databases that discussed the Safe Hospital initiative. The framework of the Brazilian sanitary regulation developed by Anvisa (Brazilian Health Surveillance Agency) does not yet consider aspects related to this Initiative. It is important to create a safety culture, sensitizing and qualifying managers, aiming to establish specific risk management programs for each EAS.
