UPCOMING SESSIONS
NOVEMBER 2026: HazMat for Hospital First Receivers
DATE/TIME: November 23, 2026 @ 10:00am - 12:00pm
DESCRIPTION: This 2-hour Awareness-level webinar prepares hospital staff to recognize victims exposed to hazardous substance releases and to initiate the appropriate defensive response steps—triage, containment, decontamination, notification and protective actions—to keep staff, patients and the facility safe. While the content reinforces key OSHA HAZWOPER principles and can be used to support your facility’s overall compliance program towards awareness level and refresher level training, its duration and scope do not meet the full OSHA-mandated HAZWOPER Operations Level (8hr) training requirements.
OBJECTIVES:
• Identify key signs and symptoms of chemical, biological and radiological exposure in incoming patients
• Outline and perform the initial response sequence—triage, patient isolation, decontamination staging and safe transfer
• Apply appropriate protective measures to safeguard care teams and facility infrastructure
• Explain how this Awareness-level training integrates with and supports the facility’s broader HAZWOPER compliance plan

DECEMBER 2026: CMS Emergency Preparedness Rule
DATE/TIME: December 15, 2026 @ 10:00am - 11:00am
DESCRIPTION: This session, presented by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) - Quality, Safety and Oversight Group (QSOG) - Division of Emergency Preparedness and Life Safety Code (DEPLSC), Division of Continuing and Acute Care Providers (DCACP) and ASPR Tracie, will provide an overview of the CMS Emergency Preparedness Rule (42 CFR §482.15) and the Appendix Z interpretive guidance and survey procedures that apply to hospitals. Participants will review the rule's core requirements, how surveyors assess compliance, and how to build and sustain an all-hazards emergency program that protects patients, staff, and operations. Key takeaways and objectives include:
• Policies and Procedures: Identify the policies required to support the emergency plan and the annual review requirement.
• Training and Testing: Summarize staff training and exercise requirements, including documentation.
• Communication Plan: List the required elements of a compliant communication plan.
• Risk Assessment and Planning: Explain how an all-hazards risk assessment informs the emergency plan.
• Deficiencies: Recognize common Appendix Z survey findings and how to respond with a plan of correction.
• Lessons Learned: Use after-action reports to identify gaps and improve readiness.

AUGUST 2026: You Have Completed the HVA, Now What? How To Make Data Actionable
RECORDED ON:
DESCRIPTION: This presentation expands upon the Hazard Vulnerability Analysis that is conducted by a hospital to identify hazards and their impacts to the inverse relationship between mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery activities in reducing risk. Typically, emergency managers utilize a Hazard Vulnerability Analysis tool or spreadsheet such as the Kaiser-Permanente model. A workshop comprised of respective internal stakeholders and external agencies analyze each hazard by assigning a numerical value for the probability of occurrence, human impacts, structural impacts, business impacts in comparison to planning, organizing, equipping, and response activities. Each hazard is then assigned a risk factor through the formula risk=probability x severity and prioritized from the highest to lowest risk. Now that we have the data, how is it made actionable? Some HVAs are filed away to say that it was done to meet a CMS, Joint Commission, or other accrediting body requirement. As a rule, the top five risks are used to develop training and exercise, but this is only one way to utilize the data from the HVA. This presentation aims to provide the attendees with the ability to present the HVA data in a formal report to senior leadership for decision making by developing a facility Hazard Mitigation Plan. Attendees will explore the use of bar charts, column charts, line charts, trend graphs, and benchmarking tables to provide data as a visual indicator to make the data actionable. The creation of a facility Hazard Mitigation Plan through supporting data provides an unbiased and objective process for increasing a hospital’s resiliency by lessening the impacts from hazards.
OBJECTIVES:
• Explain how Hazard Vulnerability Analysis data can be made actionable
• Design charts, graphs and tables to present the HVA data as a visual representation to Senior Leadership in a Hazard Mitigation Plan
• Evaluate the effectiveness of mitigation and preparedness activities through the use of benchmarking tables
