The 2024 Disaster Planning Conference will be in Pasadena this
year. It’s sure to be as spectacular as ever. The committee
members are just starting their work on bringing you relevant
topics and expert speakers to deliver them. You don’t need an
agenda to know the Disaster Planning Conference is a must-attend
event of 2024.
Take advantage of the reduced Early Bird registration when
registration opens. Lower fees can mean a few things. Either more
colleagues can go with you, or early planning allows you to have
the budget for an additional educational event in 2024.
An active shooter event is likely one of the worst events that
can happen within a medical facility due to trauma, loss of
potential life, and the continued need for patient care. The
active shooter training within hospital settings will assist
leadership and educators in establishing protocols, training
strategies, community assessment of coverage, and developing a
recovery response plan.
Presenters:
Angela Warneke, Hospital
Administrator, County of San Diego
Michael Pacheco, Detective, San Diego
County Sheriff Department
California hospitals are a critical element within the disaster
medical response system and work collaboratively with local
government, other health care providers and other agencies to
plan, prepare for and respond to the needs of victims of natural
or man-made disasters, bioterrorism, and other public health
emergencies. Hospital emergency preparedness is a priority for
government at all levels, as well as a key focus of regulatory
and accrediting agencies.
