In February, the ASPR Express (their newsletter) featured several essential resources for hospitals and communities.
Temporary surge sites have been extensively used during COVID-19 to support community hospitals within disaster areas. Now more guidance and recommendations are available: Considerations for the Use of Temporary Surge Sites for All-Hazards Incidents
The recent Mass Casualty Incident in New Orleans generated the following resource: Tips for Healthcare Facilities: Assisting Families and Loved Ones after a Mass Casualty Incident
Finally the updated DASH for hospital tool developed with our colleagues from Healthcare Ready even includes pediatric supply chain information! Disaster Available Supplies in Hospitals (DASH) Tool. There are four modules.
- Hospital Pharmacy Module
- Personal Protective Equipment Module
- Burn Supply Module
- Trauma Supply Module
View the DASH Video here https://youtu.be/mm7ILyLCkYQ
Call to Action:
- Check out the resources and make sure appropriate members of your hospital, EMS agency, and community know about them.
- Encourage the use of the DASH Tool in hospital facilities.
