Trial by Fire: Building the Strength to be Flexible
Disruption is now the norm, and hospitals must be prepared to respond to multiple types of disasters – sometimes running simultaneous responses or prolonged incident command centers. Learn from an emergency preparedness coordinator whose hospital has opened HICS 17 times in seven years, responding to a wide variety of disasters. This session shares tips on engaging staff and leaders in a meaningful way to build a living, relevant emergency management program that has the strength to be flexible, adding resilience to your team to emerge stronger after disasters.
Can a hospital utilize a vendor-created NIMS training course? If so, how does the hospital verify that it is NIMS compliant?
