Fwd: [Hospital Emergency Management] Disaster Tabletop Exercises for Health Care Providers

Disaster Tabletop Exercises for Health Care Providers


The DRC Group in coordination with Florida's Department of Health invites health care providers to participate in one of the scheduled tabletop exercises being facilitated via the internet during the months of September and October.

These exercises have been designed specifically for health care providers to evaluate and enhance existing Business Continuity and / or Emergency Operation Plans. In addition providers who do not currently have such plans will have an opportunity to gain a thorough understanding of what should be in their plan.

There is NO CHARGE for participation in any of the exercises.

Two distinctive types of exercises are available. One of the exercises will feature a hurricane scenario while the other involves a commercial fire which heavily damages your facility.

For additional information and registration please access the following web site:

Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T


Register: http://www.depiction.com/webinars/public-health-preparedness

Webinar: September 23 @ 1-2 p.m. EST

Epidemiological Surveillance and Public Health Preparedness

Location is a vital factor in disease surveillance, epidemiology and public health preparedness, but frequently public health experts do not have the training or resources to make use of traditional GIS and mapping tools.

In this webinar, Chasey Reed-Boston, MA, an analyst with the Brazoria, Texas, County Public Health Emergency Preparedness Division, will describe and demonstrate how Depiction mapping, simulation and collaboration software can be used to assess geographic trends, demographic trends and disease propagation trends by bringing together multiple datasets, both publicly available and proprietary, in a dynamic, interactive environment.

Using an inhalational anthrax scenario, Chasey Reed-Boston will show the value of Depiction in her work in public health preparedness.
