Emergency Preparedness

Healthcare providers, community-based organizations, and individuals in the community need to be ready to respond to emergencies, including Emerging Infectious Diseases (EIDs) and viral outbreaks such as COVID-19 or influenza, which can spread quickly and require a rapid, robust response to minimize spread. It is vital that all entities self-assess their ability to manage emergencies, are prepared with comprehensive and actionable emergency preparedness plans (EPPs), and are armed with checklists to operationalize logistics in the event of an emergency or healthcare crisis.
