Is your agency ready for CMS’s Conditions of Participation (CoPs) for emergency preparedness?  What four major content sections must be included in your emergency preparedness plan?  Have you participated in a tabletop demonstration and a full community emergency drill to test your plan’s effectiveness?  Do you know which disasters require preparation and are risk assessments being completed?  If not, what is your strategy to write, test, and update your plan?

This webinar will address the CoPs and four content sections required for an emergency preparedness plan.  You will learn how and what to write and communicate, what training is needed, and what to test.  A tabletop demonstration and an example of a full community drill will be included.
