Overview

Disaster Conference
The only statewide conference developed by and for California hospitals

Disasters occur in many forms — the only certainty is that they will happen. The Disaster Planning Conference guides hospitals and health systems to prepare for those disasters, regardless of the type. Planning ahead translates to limited business disruption, personnel safety, maintained data integrity, and established responsibilities during and following the disaster event.
