- Hospital Evacuation/eFINDS - eFINDS documents developed by the WNY Hospital Evacuation Work Group include the following:
Instructions for Hospital/ Healthcare Facility Evacuation Plan Revision for inclusion of eFINDS
Please read these carefully to see how the documents can be used, as desired, to complete an Evacuation Plan revision and help meet a plan revision deliverable (for grantees). Non-grantee hospitals can also use the documents to help them incorporate eFINDS to their Evacuation Plan. The documents have been developed to broadly address eFINDS procedures. Note: The Hospital is expected to make facility-specific decisions about use of the content and modify/use these as needed.
- eFINDS Quick Reference Card: WNY documents developed depend on use of the NYS-provided Card for reference.
- eFINDS Activation Algorithm

- Using the Emergency Communications Template and Samples
- Medical Surge - This workgroup developed a template for the Hospital Mass Casualty Incident – Disaster Triage Annex and included key resources used in the development of the template. The template was designed to provide guidance for content, processes, and responsibilities for managing a mass casualty incident without contamination, and must be modified to reflect your hospital’s processes.
Directions for modifying the plan for your facility
- Read thoroughly, and use your hospital’s current Codes terminology, and Levels of Activation
- Modify the actions in the template per your current CEMP, and to reflect your staff and Department actions.
- Ensure all Tables and Lists are modified to reflect your supplies, equipment, areas, and staffing assignments.
- Remove/ add Attachments - none are required, but those included should reflect your disaster triage methodology
and tags.
- Modify the Table of Contents as needed.
- Review and modify the Hospital Command Center actions per your CEMP. They only reflect the initial HCC
actions.
