Working with partners across the state, the Granite State Health Care Coalition is doing the following as part of their continuous emergency preparedness efforts in support of the state's public health response to COVID-19:
- conducting situational awareness assessments with hospital emergency coordinators to evaluate current and future resource needs, including personal protective equipment (PPE);
- assisting with Alternative Care Sites (ACS) as they're being stood up throughout the state to create additional bed capacity if needed;
- leading the establishment of Isolation and Quarantine Sites;
- partnering on the development of the state's Crisis Standards of Care Plan, as well as the Mass Fatality Management Plan.
A current summary of the COVID-19 situation in New Hampshire is available on the NH DHHS website.
