Long Term Care Agency Disaster Planning & Response Compact
The Long Term Care Agency Disaster Planning & Response Compact is a voluntary agreement among Participating Long Term Care Agencies to assist at the time of a Disaster, not an Emergency, in accordance with relevant emergency management/disaster preparedness plans. The assistance components of this Compact will not take effect until a disaster or emergency has been declared by local or state authorities, or when necessary to save lives or ensure continuity of critical patient/resident care in the absence of a declared emergency or disaster.
The Compact also describes the relationships among Long Term Care Agencies and is intended to augment, not replace, organizational, community, or regional disaster management plans.
