The Comprehensive Emergency Preparedness Resource Guide for Home Care & Hospice Agencies
The Home Care & Hospice Association of NJ (HCHANJ) has designed this resource guide so that home care and hospice providers can educate and prepare themselves, their patients, and their agencies for a wide range of disaster situations.
This resource guide is divided into eight sections:
- Assessments
- Incident Command System
- Business Continuity Planning
- Emergency Plan by Event
- Exercises
- HIPAA and Disasters
- Succession Plans
- Resource Contact Information
Information was gathered from the NJ Office of Preparedness and Response, Occupational Safety Health Administration, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, ASPR TRACIE, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
We hope you will use this manual to be better prepared as a company – and to help your patients and their families become better prepared. As always, we encourage your feedback on this resource and your input into future initiatives
