SUMMARY:E80 &#8211\; A Practical Framework for Disaster Preparedness
DESCRIPTION:As extreme weather events\, infrastructure failures\, and cyber threats increase in frequency and severity\, healthcare facilities must rethink how they assess\, design for\, and manage risk. This session presents a practical framework for strategic facility risk mitigation-moving beyond emergency response toward proactive resilience planning. Drawing on real-world experience\, the talk explores how to understand the full risk picture facing hospitals\, from climate-driven hazards and utility disruptions to internal system vulnerabilities. Attendees will learn how thoughtful design\, redundancy\, maintenance practices\, and facility hardening can reduce exposure\; how evolving insurance models are reshaping risk decisions\; and how detailed emergency planning minimizes operational and patient-care impacts when disruptions occur. The session emphasizes actionable strategies that support continuity of care\, protect critical infrastructure\, and position healthcare organizations to recover faster when-not if-disasters happen.
