Join us for this facilitator-led discussion based exercise to test the MAHPC Regional Response Plan - Radiation Surge Annex. This exercise will allow for and encourage collaboration among key partners and stakeholders to determine and test best practices for managing a radiation patient surge within the MAHPC region.   

This is a virtual exercise. Please register through NC TERMS.

Why Radiation?

The 2019-2023 HPP Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) requires Healthcare Coalitions (HCCs) to develop a complementary coalition-level radiation emergency surge annex to their base medical surge/trauma mass casualty response plan. This annex aims to improve capacity and capabilities to manage exposed or potentially exposed patients during a radiation emergency.

This radiation emergency-focused operational annex complements the HCC’s Response Plan. It is intended to be a high-level, incident-specific response plan, identifying the experts and specialized resources that exist within the HCC or external to the HCC that are available. Each facility is encouraged to develop more detailed policies/procedures that support their individual operations, but that level of detail is not necessary in this annex.
