HOSPITAL TABLETOP DISASTER EXERCISES via WEBINAR

This tabletop exercise is intended to help your group with a potential evacuation emergency. Please have your group in a room together with one person designated as a scribe for the session. We will require you to type group answers to the questions posed during the exercise. Due to the high level of interaction within the webinar, workshop is limited to 10 group sites. One person from each group needs to register.

NOTE: The Center will continue to offer customized disaster exercise design services to hospitals, public health, and long term care facilities on request.
