Preparedness for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive Events

Questionnaire for Health Care Facilities

Operations Manual

---

To assess the readiness of hospitals and other health care facilities for chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive (CBRNE) events, States, localities, and hospitals can use this functionally downloadable questionnaire. Some hospitals may address events such as these as a component of an "all hazards" plan. Select for other CBRNE information.

The Operations Manual identifies and describes hardware and software requirements to set up a .NET architecture Web site. The manual includes the files and steps that will allow a Federal- or State-level IT administrator to deploy the Web questionnaire site for CBRNE Events: Questionnaire for Health Care Facilities.

This project was funded by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) and developed under Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Contract No. HHSA29020050005C with Booz Allen Hamilton.
