This presentation provides background and jurisdictional information on the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) weapons of mass destruction response process, assists hospitals in understanding the CBRNE threat profile, and provides HIPAA considerations during events where the FBI is engaged. It also outlines other FBI response initiatives that are helpful to hospitals in planning and response for threats, offering outreach and training resources hospitals can utilize in engaging the FBI before, during, and after these events.
2022 Disaster Conference
Chemical emergencies can happen at any time at health care facilities. The impact may not only be to the facility but patients, staff, and the surrounding community. To assist hospitals and all health care partners, ASPR/TRACIE has developed a “Chemical Emergency Considerations for Health Care Facilities” resource to assist in preparing and responding to chemical emergencies.
This core competencies list provides the disaster preparedness and response knowledge, skills and abilities needed by relevant types of hospital personnel given the current state of the art of CBRNE hazards and health care system vulnerabilities. Applying these competencies will assist hospitals in the development, implementation, coordination, and evaluation of disaster preparedness and response training programs.
