Resources

The Center for Preparedness and Emergency Response Solutions conducts planning, training, and exercise services for public health and medical care providers and current health care and public health emergency managers. 

If you have any questions about the center or you would like to set up one of our training courses, please email us. 

Exercises 

Since conducting workshops, tabletops, drills, functional and full-scale exercises is a part of the healthcare and public health emergency managers' routine, the Center developed these exercises as templates for them to use.  

It is important to note that these templates are not one size fits all for every facility when it comes to exercise scope, objectives, and expected actions. Please review and modify them to fit your needs.  

Hospital First Receiver (Hospital Decontamination)  

There are many instances where a hospital needs to decontaminate prior to admitting a patient. This two-day training provides health care facilities with the skills needed to provide a high level of care for their patients while maintaining worker safety.
