Welcome

The CA Association of Health Facilities' Disaster Preparedness Program (CAHF-DPP) is funded through grants with the CA Department of Public Health, Los Angeles County Health Services, and other grants throughout the state. This website is a free resource library of emergency management tools for long-term care organizations. CAHF-DPP has collected materials and best practices from around the United States for the last ten years, and adapted many tools to fit the needs of LTC providers. If you have any questions or suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact us!
