  • Title: Establishing and refining hurricane response systems for long-term care facilities.
    Author: Hyer K, Brown LM, Berman A, Polivka-West L.
    Journal: Health Aff (Millwood); 2006; 25(5):w407-11. PubMed ID: 16940306.
    Abstract:
    In February 2006 the John A. Hartford Foundation funded a long-term care "Hurricane Summit," sponsored by the Florida Health Care Association. Representatives from five Gulf Coast states that sustained hurricane damage during 2005 and from Georgia, a receiving state for hurricane evacuees, attended. Summit participants evaluated disaster preparedness, response, and recovery for long-term care provider networks and identified gaps that impeded safe resident evacuation and disaster response. The meeting identified emergency response system issues that require coordination between long-term care providers and state and federal emergency operations centers. Five areas warranting further attention are presented as lessons learned and potential areas for grant making.
