“When disasters strike, one of the greatest areas of concern for public health officials is the status of hospitals, nursing homes and dialysis centers relying on generator power. While there are some systems in place that provide limited situational awareness of how impacted facilities are operating, Powered for Patients offers the opportunity to significantly enhance post disaster situational awareness. The initiative can also help facilitate pre-disaster planning between government, the generator industry and healthcare facilities. This collaboration will give public health officials a better understanding of the challenges facilities will face after a disaster and what government, the facilities and the generator industry can do to address these challenges. We’re excited to be a part of Powered for Patients and look forward to continuing to provide our expertise in addressing the issue of backup power for healthcare facilities.”
