All-Hazards Emergency Management Planning
Disaster planning is a unique entity. It requires hospitals to work with different people, solving different problems and using different resources and strategies than those for routine emergencies. Simply having an emergency operations plan does not always equate to having a prepared institution.
DQE All-Hazards Emergency Management Planning provides hospitals with the tools and support needed to build a dynamic and functional emergency management program that fully incorporates the Hospital Incident Command System (HICS) and enhances compliance with national standards and hospital accreditation requirements.

OVERVIEW
A very structured, time-proven process of collaborative planning is facilitated by DQE through the combined use of proprietary planning tools and web-based conference calls.
The self-directed planning tools are designed to lead a planning team through a structured process that starts with a template and ends with a highly functional and practical Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) that is specific to the hospital and an Emergency Management Program (EMP) that supports and enhances the facility's readiness capability.
DETAILS
The All-Hazards EMP and integrated EOP encompasses the four phases of emergency management and fully incorporates the Hospital Incident Command System (HICS). The planning process includes a series of proprietary tools that will assist the management team in framing their emergency response:
- Hazard Vulnerability Analysis (HVA) - Results of the HVA drive the organization’s planning process and training activities
- Activation Matrix - Defines the framework for activating the EMP
- Order of Succession - Maps the senior leadership of the Incident Management Team chart contained in HICS
- Incident Facilities Matrix - Lists locations required in the HICS operations and marries them to the appropriate client location.
- Department Emergency Operation Plans (DEOP™) - Describes each department’s role in an emergency and what employee actions are expected
- Critical Event Annex - Establishes the framework for hazard-specific planning considerations that support EMP/EOP for particular high-vulnerability events
- EMP/EOP PowerPointTM Training Presentation - Assists facility in implementing EMP/EOP hospital-wide
- Compliance Matrix - Crosswalks between the hospital’s EMP/EOP and all applicable standards and implementation activities
