  3. What disaster do you prepare for? • The likely events are likely • What you prepare to do for one event, you can use in another event • What you learn form one “event”, you should apply to another event.

  4. Hazard and Vulnerability Analysis • Completed with FFY 2005 HRSA application • Preliminary Data • HazMat, Weather-related emergencies, power outages were biggest threats • HazMat, large scale bio events were biggest vulnerabilities • Regional vs Individual hospital results • How do these relate to other agencies’ analyses?

  5. Basic Plans • EOP • COOP • IMS/ICS • Evacuation Plan • Power outage, fire, etc • Surge Plan

  6. Cooperative Planning • Leveraging across region • Leveraging across health/public health/EMS/EMA etc, etc • Leveraging within business partnerships

  7. This is about the “business” • Balance between market forces and moral imperatives • Being creative with funding streams • Using political capital

  8. …any preparations you make before an event are alarmist…any preparations you’ve made, when evaluated after an event, are inadequate
