Year 6 R7DHRE Annual Report
Our year 6 (Oct. 2023-Sept. 2024) R7DHRE annual report is now available for you to read. “During our sixth year (Federal FY2024), the Region VII Disaster Health Response Ecosystem (R7DHRE) continued to pursue its cross-jurisdictional efforts to advance regional readiness, capacity, and capability for health care and public health crises. In an era of ever-present health care threats and challenges, the focus continues to be on providing health care delivery system tools to save lives and preserve continuity of operations. The R7DHRE team facilitated training sessions, webinars, and exercises in a wide array of fields, including infectious diseases, biological threats, radiation exposure, burns, chemical threats, trauma, and pediatric care.”
DASH Tool
The Disaster Available Supplies in Hospitals (DASH) is an interactive tool designed by ASPR TRACIE, with support from Healthcare Ready, that can help hospital emergency planners and supply chain staff estimate supplies that may need to be immediately available during various mass casualty incidents (MCI) and infectious disease emergencies based on hospital characteristics. The DASH Tool recommends average par levels for specific supplies that acute care hospitals may need to have on hand to respond to a disaster in their community until resupplied. Recommendations are based on user inputs about the size of the hospital, risks in the community, regional role/designation of the hospital, and other factors.
