About

This document describes how Health Care Coalitions (HCCs) should prepare for long-term outages caused by things like power failures or cyberattacks. It explains the need for backup plans, ways to communicate during downtime, and steps to keep patient care safe. The assessment helps HCCs find gaps in their current plans and improve readiness. It also covers planning for water shortages, electrical problems, and making sure staff know what to do if systems go down. The goal is to make health care safer during emergencies that disrupt normal operations.
