Emergency Preparedness Basics for Health Care and Long-Term Care (LTC)
Emergency Preparedness (EP) Basics focuses on health care and long-term care (LTC) preparedness planning. The tools and resources on this page were developed to support EP Basics planning for health care and long-term care. This includes hospitals, long-term facilities, clinics, outpatient services, and other health care facilities. The resources on this page are intended for those in charge of developing, updating, and maintaining Emergency Preparedness plans at their facility or organization.
Plan, Prepare, Act: The Practical Strategies for Emergency Preparedness and Response in Health Care and Long-Term Care Facilities workshop guides participants through the basics of Emergency Preparedness (EP). Throughout 8 modules participants will learn what elements are needed within an EP Plan, and where to find resources/materials to help create or modify a plan for their facility.
Please remember to reference current state, federal, and local statues/guidance when creating plans.

The story talks through the steps a facility should take during an emergency and following their EP Plan. The videos start in Module 3 and continue throughout the rest of the modules.
