Hazards Vulnerability Analysis

Hospitals are required to conduct and annually review their Hazard Vulnerability Analysis $($HVA$).$ The HVA provides a systematic approach to recognizing hazards that may affect demand for the hospitals services or its ability to provide those services. The risks associated with each hazard are analyzed to prioritize planning, mitigation, response and recovery activities. The HVA serves as a needs assessment for the Emergency Management program. This process should involve community partners and be communicated to community emergency response agencies.
