This field manual is an updated edition of the publication 'Protocol for assessment of health facilities responding to emergencies' (1999). It provides a management tool for health professionals evaluating the preparedness of their health facilities for dealing with disasters, and it contains three main sections: a questionnaire presented in a checklist format for capacity assessment; aspects of preparedness relating to structural and non-structural vulnerability, functions and human resources; and preparedness for specific emergencies relating to industrial sectors and contamination, infectious disease outbreaks and biological, chemical and radiological emergencies.
Health service continuity planning for public health emergencies
This handbook is developed with the aim of supporting healthcare facilities to minimize disruption and ultimately increase the resilience of health services during public health emergencies. It supports the development of service continuity plans in PHE context by outlining the procedures and key elements to be considered for planning including a planning template. By nature, the utility of this handbook is not specific to a specific emergency response. It underpins a preparedness and proactive approach towards managing various public health emergency risks for which the health services should be prepared before they occur or disrupt health services. The intended audiences for this interim handbook are health facilities and services managers, health workers and health authorities with responsibilities to plan and coordinate emergency management and service continuity operations among health facilities. These users can apply this handbook in: - enhancing awareness on the necessity of service continuity planning and the associated requirements; - reviewing and updating their existing service continuity plans and other arrangements for health services continuity; - developing service continuity plans if there are none for their health facilities. This interim version will be updated as required based on lessons from its application in countries.
