Facilitate cooperative planning among the wide variety

Accomplishments:
Developed document “Four Keys to Being Prepared for a
Disaster” an abbreviated disaster planning tool focusing
on four main topics. Added items to CMS Manual “Emergency
Preparedness for Dialysis Facilities.” Created an Appendix
