ACEP-DHS online training

Building Collaborative Disaster Planning Processes between Hospitals and Emergency Management (AWR-205)

This course is designed to assist participants in the creation and sustainment of regional partnerships for regional homeland security collaboration. Homeland security is presented as an issue that requires the best efforts and collaboration of the whole community across jurisdictional boundaries, including the public and private sector. Participants are given the information needed to begin and enhance the development of regional collaboration between multiple sectors, jurisdictions, regions, and states in building cooperative capabilities.  This training covers the development and maintenance of pre-incident plans that ensure the sharing of information and resources, the efficient distribution of patients, and the coordination between state and local agencies with hospitals and others responding to the medical needs of disaster victims.
