Healthcare facilities and their staff play a key role in emergency preparedness and response efforts for all types of events, including natural or man-made disasters, pandemic outbreaks or terrorist attacks. The availability of healthcare services is essential to accommodate the surge in demand that accompanies an emergency or disaster. This website is intended to assist healthcare facilities with all aspects of emergency planning, including mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery. Included on these pages are basic tools and resources from Premier and federal governmental agencies.

With proper preparation, healthcare providers can keep staff, patients and community members as safe and ready as possible. For our part, Premier has recognized the importance of risk management for years, and we have built forward-thinking technology and capabilities to prevent product shortages – helping our members fare better during COVID-19 than most others.

Premier’s dedicated Disaster Response team serves as an extra set of hands and legs for our members during a hurricane, pandemic or other emergency. We work across contracted suppliers, member health systems, business continuity experts and communications functions to serve as conduits for information and preparedness.
