A Hazard Vulnerability Assessment (HVA) should be more than an annual spreadsheet exercise. When done correctly, the HVA can support the planning, training, exercises, mitigation strategies, resource allocation, leadership decisions, and operational readiness of a hospital's emergency management program.
This session will walk participants through a practical, hospital-centered approach to conducting a realistic HVA. Participants will earn how to select the right committee, gather meaningful resources, identify and categorize hazards, define operational impact, evaluate preparedness, rate hazards, and turn findings into action. Additionally, the session will explain how to keep the HVA current through annual review and post-event updates.
This session will help hospitals move beyond checking the HVA box and build a process that reflects real risk, real preparedness, and real action.
