The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, Health Facilities and
Emergency Medical Services Division, has been made aware that the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is contacting health care facilities directly
regarding the flooding. While the intentions are good, it confuses the process
and complicates response operations.
Any and all Emergency Support
Function 8 (ESF8) needs should be requested through your local ESF8 authorities,
through the local emergency management jurisdictions, and to our Division.
Thank
you,
Deann Conroy
Deputy Director, Health Facilities and Emergency Medical Services
Division
