HHS – The Next Challenge in Healthcare Preparedness: Catastrophic Health Events

The Next Challenge in Healthcare Preparedness – Catastrophic Health Events, Preparedness Report | January 2010. Prepared for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR).

  • “The report finds that, while U.S. hospitals are significantly better prepared for disasters and public health emergencies now than they were in 2001, much work remains to be done especially in regard to catastrophic health events (CHE), such as large earthquakes, pandemic influenza, or the aftermath of nuclear or biological terrorism, which could sicken or injure tens of thousands.”
