Program Description: As a home care provider, planning is important because you have to make sure your agency and its staff members
have the supplies needed to safely care for your clients in times of emergency. When planning for contingencies, home care providers must consider a variety of hazards and events
that could impact their patients. Hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, wildfires, radiation releases, chemical exposures, seasonal and pandemic influenza, and acts
of terrorism are just a few examples. There are 5 phases of emergency preparedness that must be in place. In this presentation you learn the simple measures that home care providers
can implement to increase the personal readiness of their clients and themselves. Additionally, you become familiar with existing emergency response plans, processes, and procedures
in both the workplace and community. Once you are armed with the necessary resources, help your clients, their family members, and other caregivers to be prepared, assemble a kit,
make a plan and be informed.

TAHC&H Faculty/Presenter(s): Kimberly R. Stuart, Shareholder, Crain, Caton and James
About the Presenter(s):
Kimberly R. Stuart practices appellate law, commercial litigation, and employment and labor law.
As the oldest of her generation in a very large Italian family from Brooklyn (who got to Texas as quickly as she could),
Kimberly learned early that to be heard, you have to get into the action, make your point quickly, and be ready to defend it. Kimberly puts this
experience to use in her practice by dealing with her clients openly and frankly.
Kimberly began her legal career as a briefing attorney to Judge Margaret Garner Mirabal on the Court of Appeals for
the First District of Texas. That experience helped her to identify what it takes to preserve a record at trial and what judges look for in appellate briefing.
Kimberly’s representative employment law experience includes successfully defending employers in FLSA wage actions
and Title VII litigation. She has also effectively represented employees and employers in matters related to covenants not to compete and
fiduciary duties. Additionally, Kimberly has successfully defended her clients, from Fortune 500 companies to sole proprietorships,
in products liability matters including toxic tort defense and appeals. In the area of premises liability, Kimberly won
victories for Fortune 500 companies, such as Walmart and Home Depot, in state and federal appellate courts.
Kimberly knows that the key to a good settlement is strong trial preparation. She prides herself on
building lasting and solid relationships with her clients so she can anticipate their needs
and guide them to the best decision, whether it is to compromise or go the distance.
An important part of Kimberly’s practice is helping her clients avoid litigation altogether through reviewing contracts,
examining trade secret and confidential information protection, conducting self-audits to ensure regulatory compliance, and assisting
clients with best practices training and compliance. In her employment practice outside the courtroom, Kimberly handles all
varieties of employment disputes, including claims of discrimination, retaliation, harassment, wrongful termination,
breach of contract, and employment-related torts. She drafts, evaluates, and updates personnel handbooks,
workplace policies, employment contracts, and severance agreements.
Kimberly has defended numerous clients in matters before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission,
Texas Workforce Commission, and the Department of Labor, as well as other state and federal agencies, resulting in dismissals.

Commercial bias may occur when a CNE activity promotes one or more product(s) (drugs, devices, services, software, hardware, etc.). This definition is not all inclusive and participants may use
their own interpretation in deciding if a presentation is biased. The ANCC COA is interested in the opinions and perceptions of participants at approved CNE activities, especially in the presence
