About

The Patient Tracking & Reunification Module helps hospitals plan for reuniting families during disasters. It describes how to share information, address security concerns, and consider legal issues. Hospitals should work with public health and law enforcement to ensure consistent messaging. Security officers must be present in key areas, and legal advice is important when children are involved without guardians. Social media should be monitored carefully to prevent misinformation. The module also highlights the importance of having a clear communication plan before a disaster happens, ensuring families receive accurate updates about their loved ones' status in the hospital.
