most of the consequences are predictable and that we need to plan against these known consequences. \u00a0Here, I hope to encourage conversation, stimulate the imagination, and engage the best minds

to preparing for, responding to, and recovering from events which have the potential to impact operations. The recently updated Centers for Medicaid &amp; Medicare Services (CMS) rules for emergency preparedness added 10-15 new healthcare organizations into the mix that require emergency preparedness efforts.<\/p>\n<p>The guide also serves as a reference for initial incident management. I hope by the time readers have finished the book, they will have a better skill set to revise, customize, and practice using the ICS within their organization.<\/p>\n<p><a
