The Homeland Security Response Guide for Ohio Hospitals and Health Care Facilities
By now we are all familiar with the federal Homeland Security Advisory System, the designated 5 alert levels thet include identified emergency action steps. There are guidance documents written for schools, businesses and individuals, but not for hospital or health care facilities.
To ensure that Ohio hospitals have the available standardized emergency action steps the Akron Regional Hospital Association's Emergency Preparedness Committee created the document below. It is intended to provide our hospitals with standardized emergency action steps that should be considered and/or implemented for each level to ensure a safe and secure environment for patients and staff.
Please review the PDF document with your disaster preparedness committee and/or safety committee and determine how it will be shared within your institution. If you have any questions or comments, please email Tonda L. Francis at tfrancis@gchc.org or call her at (513) 531-0200.
