Federal Emergency Management Agency

FEMA’s mission is to lead America to prepare for, prevent, respond to, and recover from disasters with a vision of “A Nation Prepared.”  The agency offers several resources to help people before, during, and after disasters.

National Incident Management System

FEMA’s National Incident Management System provides a common, nationwide approach to enable the whole community to work together to manage all threats and hazards. NIMS applies to all incidents, regardless of cause, size, location, or complexity. NIMS retains key concepts and principles while incorporating lessons learned from exercises and real-world incidents, best practices, and changes in national policy.

Supply Chain Shortage Reporting Tool

To support ongoing health care system pharmaceutical and supply chain shortages, hospitals are encouraged to report any supply chain disruptions as they arise in one of two ways. The information provided will  improve situational awareness and allow MHA to facilitate technical support and coordination among local, state and federal entities as deemed necessary. This information also will help MHA understand the extent and impact of the shortage to inform advocacy efforts and provide technical assistance to mitigate shortages.

To help spread the word, print this flyer and display it in key areas within your facility.
