HEALTH CARE FACILITY STATUS REPORTS
The Healthcare Facility Status Report is a software program that provides an efficient means to communicate a healthcare facility’s status during disasters to the Medical Health Operational Area Coordinator (MHOAC). The information collected through the Healthcare Facility Status Report is analyzed to assess the condition of the healthcare delivery system in San Joaquin County. The information can also be consolidated and shared with key healthcare partners as needed.
Healthcare facilities are requested to submit a status report once their Emergency Operations Plan has been activated. During extended incidents (lasting 12 hours or more) status reports should be submitted once every 12 hours or as directed by the EMS Agency. For more information contact Phil Cook, Disaster Medical Health Specialist at (209) 468-6818 or by email pcook@sjgov.org.
Download the runtime version of the Healthcare Facility Status Report software from the California Health Alert Network (CAHAN) Document Library. A CAHAN Collaborator license and password is required.

DISASTER HEALTHCARE VOLUNTEERS
The Disaster Healthcare Volunteers (DHV) is a secured and confidential online registry of licensed healthcare professionals interested in volunteering during disasters. The system is designed to validate the credentials of healthcare professionals before an emergency to expedite the deployment of volunteers as quickly and efficiently as possible. Non-medical support personnel (logistics, communications, amateur radio operators, etc) are also encouraged to volunteer. Volunteers in San Joaquin County will be notified and activated by the EMS Agency.
For more information contact Phil Cook, Disaster Medical Health Specialist at (209) 468-6818 or by email pcook@sjgov.org.

DISASTER SERVICES WORKERS
All members of the Disaster Healthcare Volunteers (DHV) are eligible to receive state-funded workers’ compensation benefits for their services protecting the health and safety, and preserving the lives and property of the people of the state. This program was established to protect such volunteers from financial loss as a result of injuries sustained while engaged in disaster service activities and to provide immunity from liability while providing disaster services.
