Welcome to the newest "Blog" on the block ! "Community Health Center Emergency Preparedness"
This medium was created 1 May 2009 to facilitate an ongoing discussion for the development of emergency preparedness at and for community health centers. It will initially be hosted and maintained by David Chaplin, who is a consultant in emergency preparedness for hospitals and healthcare agencies. However, ownership is shared by the participating members. This blog is meant to be fair, useful, and free of politics.
The sole purpose of this medium is to have an informal means of asynchronous communication through which "responsible parties" at community health centers can share their experience and challenges with developing an emergency preparedness program at their center. There are many similarities among all centers, and yet each center's plan must be customized and tailored to its particular operation, resources, and community.
We look forward to less experienced folks asking many good questions, and to more experienced folks posting good answers. We all learn by asking, and we all learn by teaching. The desired result is compliance with the federal and moral requirement to improve the level of preparedness for anticipated emergencies in your community, and also knowing your role in assisting public health, hospitals, or government agencies during declared emergencies. We should also know when to say "when", and close-up shop.
So please participate; your $0.02 is more valuable than you might think. Your host will provide stimulus for discussion and guidance when necessary. The CHC-Emergency Preparedness blog is dedicated to your improvement !
D. Chaplin
