How hazardous materials and wastes will be managed in a disaster
Consider an example of an emergency operations plan (EOP). One part of this EOP describes a process for finding out how many staff members, empty beds, operating rooms, medical supplies, and medical devices are available to help respond to a disaster. This process addresses, in part, The Joint Commission's requirement for six key elements of an EOP. The key element most directly addressed is:
Resources and assets
One feature of a disaster is:
Disasters are too big for a single agency to manage.
Which of the following best describes the relationship between individual healthcare facilities and NIMS?
Facilities need to be able to work within the NIMS disaster response structure.
Consider an example of an EOP. One part of this EOP describes a process in which all employees report for instruction when a disaster code is activated. Certain staff members are sent to a personnel pool. These workers wait to find out what they need to do. This process addresses, in part, The Joint Commission's requirement for six key elements of an EOP. The key element most directly addressed is:
