HAZARD VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS Oro Valley Hospital identifies the potential hazards, threats, and adverse events and assesses the impact on the care, treatment, and services sustained during an emergency. The assessment is a Hazard Vulnerability Analysis (HVA) which is designed to assist in gaining a realistic understanding of the vulnerabilities and to help focus the resources and planning efforts. The community's and region's HVA assessments will also be an aid in the assessment for the organization. A list of priority concerns are developed from the HVA and are evaluated annually. The HVA includes the ability to provide services, the likelihood of those events occurring, and the consequences of those events. The hospital's HVA is reviewed annually and signed by the LEPC through Pima County. The Emergency Management Committee and the Environment of Care Committee will develop appropriate specific emergency response plans based on priorities established as part of the Hazard Vulnerability Analysis. Each Emergency Response Plan will address the four phases of emergency management activities: MITIGATION - Activities designed to reduce the risk of and potential damage due to an emergency (i.e., the installation of stand by or redundant equipment, training). PREPAREDNESS - Activities that will organize and mobilize essential resources (i.e., plan writing, employee education, preparation with outside agencies, and acquiring and maintaining critical supplies). RESPONSE - Activities the hospital undertakes to respond to disruptive events. The actions are designed with strategies and actions to be activated during the emergency (i.e., control, warnings, and evacuations). RECOVERY - Activities the hospital undertakes to return the facility to complete business operations. Short-term actions assess damage and return vital life-support operations to minimum operating standards. Long-term actions focus on returning all hospital operations back to normal or an improved state of affairs. |
