DISASTER PREPAREDNESS PROGRAM
Emergency Operations Plans
The Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) is, for most facilities, a litmus test for their level of emergency preparation. When used in conjunction with Hazard Vulnerability Assessments, the Nursing Home Incident Command System, and Table Top Exercises, the EOP is an irreplaceable tool for long-term care providers to mitigate disasters. Here are listed other toolkits and successful methods pioneered by proactive agencies around the U.S.
