Hospital Preparedness Program (HPP) |
The Hospital Preparedness Program (HPP) is a federally-funded initiative that enhances the ability of Orange County hospitals and health care systems to prepare for and respond to public health emergencies, whether naturally occurring or man-made. Under HPP, the State allocates funds to counties along with guidance to reach certain critical benchmark requirements: regional surge capacity, equipment, patient tracking, interoperable communications, training and exercises. Current priority areas include communication systems, bed tracking, casualty management planning, and hospital evacuations.
The HPP offers Orange County hospital, ambulance and community clinic staff various emergency response trainings, such as:
- Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, & Explosive (CBRNE) Threats
- Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD)
- Hospital Incident Command System (HICS)
- Incident Command System 100, 200 & 700
- Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
- Decontamination Capabilities
- Vortran Ventilator System
- DuoDote Nerve Agent Antidote
