Experience

Emergency preparedness expertise from DQE has enabled national organizations, government agencies, and thousands of hospitals, fire departments, and law enforcement agencies better prepare for the consequences of natural and man-made disasters. The staff at DQE has used their personal experience from the front line – as emergency physicians, firefighters, emergency managers, and safety specialists – to develop and enhance products and services that are appropriate and practical.

DQE has the expertise and resources needed to help hospitals enhance their readiness for an impending crisis - before it becomes a disaster. Our work includes developing and implementing emergency management programs for hospitals, writing mass casualty and pandemic influenza plans, preparing hospitals for decontamination and evacuation emergencies, participating on expert panels, and authoring reports on these topics.
