Statement from Emmett Reed, Florida Health Care Association Executive Director, on Hurricane Dorian Preparations:
“The Florida Health Care Association is actively preparing and planning for the arrival of Hurricane Dorian, and our members are activating their emergency plans as appropriate. Our team is in constant communication with long term care facilities in the areas that could potentially be affected by the storm, and we are coordinating efforts with federal, state, and local authorities as well as our transportation and utility partners. As always, our top priority is the safety and well-being of every resident and staff members at our centers. Each facility has a detailed emergency management plan that outlines the steps it will take in the event of such an emergency, and centers are making preparations in accordance with these plans. FHCA will continue to provide timely updates as more information becomes available.”
