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.
