Reminder: Emergency Resources

The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Emergency Preparedness, Response, and Recovery Resources for Health Centers webpage provides a comprehensive set of resources and links to their Emergency Information Kit. Resources include some on CMS’ emergency preparedness rule and a full list of Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) resources. In addition, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) recently introduced a new Heat and Health Index, which helps identify communities where people are most likely to feel the effects of heat on their health. Visit CDC’s website to access the index and other Centers for Disease Control tools. HHS’ Catalytic Program aims to connect safety net health care providers to Inflation Reduction Act funding for resilient and renewable infrastructure. Learn more on HHS’ website, which includes an entire set of webinars for health centers (scroll a little over halfway down the page).
