Hospital Disaster Preparedness Self-Assessment Tool The American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP)
This assessment tool was developed to assist hospitals in
revising and updating existing disaster plans or in the
development of new plans. The tool was originally used by a
subject matter expert survey team to collect data for a
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) grant so it is constructed
in a survey format. The data was then used to develop a
specialized instruction program for that facility that addressed
any areas needing improvements. We feel this assessment tool can
also be utilized in a self-assessment format by the institution
in the review of their disaster plans.
