As a result of the new CMS Emergency Preparedness Rule, many of our regional health partners are requesting information regarding emergency planning, training and exercises. Therefore, we have collaborated with our coalition partners to put together a collection of resources with respect to these regulations. We will continue to add more documents as they become available. If you would like to contribute to our resourse list, please email us at MDReg3hmc@gmail.com.
