Emergency Response Contingency Planning

Emergency Response Contingency Planning

Federally-funded health centers and primary care clinics need to be fully integrated into their community's emergency management and disaster response networks. The strong response by health centers in the areas affected by the tragic events of September 11, 2001 underscores that health centers and clinics have both the experience and capacity to be effective participants in a disaster response campaign and can play an important role in assisting local providers in delivering critical emergency services.

Ensuring that individual facilities have the capability to remain operational during times of crisis is critical, regardless of whether they are part of the local emergency strategy or not. In order to assist health centers and primary care clinics in developing a strategy formulated to address these situations so that they can respond effectively to emergent community needs and continue to provide outstanding primary care to patients, the Primary Care Office of the Office of Local & Rural Health offers the following brief presentations for your use.
