Long Term Care Hazard Vulnerability Analysis Sample Tool

A first step in effective emergency preparedness and management is defining and analyzing jurisdictional hazards. Although all hazards should be addressed, resource limitations usually do not allow this to happen in one single planning event. Hazard assessments can be used to establish priorities so that the hazards with the highest potential consequences are addressed first and those least likely to occur and/or least likely to cause major problems can be considered later. The Excel tool allows the user to enter the Risk Component responses into the appropriate hazard-specific cells (e.g. Probability of Hurricane, Public Health Impact of Pandemic Influenza, etc.) to determine a facility-based risk assessment as required by the CMS Emergency Preparedness Rule.
