[PGM3937] EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS | PART 02 | Live in the Safe Zone: The Compliance Side of the Emergency Preparedness Plan
Program Description:
Emergency Preparedness compliance is not easy. Have you ever wondered...

Should we be monitoring infections?
Do OSHA guidelines apply to us?
Then this session is for you! Navigating the compliance landscape of emergency preparedness is crucial for Home and
Community Support Services Agencies (HCSSAs) and is not easy. This session dives into the common pitfalls that lead to
citations and explore the often-overlooked compliance elements of your emergency preparedness plan. From documentation to training and everything
in between, make sure your agency is not only prepared for emergencies but also fully compliant with regulatory requirements.
Don’t get caught off guard! Understand what’s expected and avoid those dreaded citations.

[PGM3938] EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS | PART 03 | Sliding Into the Financial and Cyber Security Details
Program Description:
This session delves deeper into the critical aspects of financial and cybersecurity preparedness.
Many agencies believe they’re ready for emergencies, but the reality since 2020 has shown that unforeseen challenges, like the recent Change Healthcare attack affecting billing
and payments, can disrupt even the best-laid plans. Having a robust financial contingency plan during an emergency is not just important—it’s vital. How will your agency ensure
payroll is covered? What about protecting your finances from a ransomware attack? It’s essential to evaluate and enhance your emergency preparedness plan to include comprehensive
cybersecurity measures. Ask yourself: are you truly prepared to face a financial or ransomware attack?
