Nebraska Medicine in Omaha, Nebraska, and Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, received the grants from ASPR’s Hospital Preparedness Program to conduct pilot projects that show the potential effectiveness and viability of a Regional Disaster Health Response System. We would like to extend a sincere thank you to all of those who contributed to this statewide effort including: EMERGENCY MEDICAL COORDINATION CENTER The TSA-E Medical Coordination Center (EMCC) supports medical services delivery by hospitals and EMS agencies during emergencies. Response activities are scaled as appropriate for a given event, and may range from help desk support during working hours to 24/7 activation of the EMCC and the provision of liaison officers to work with various regional and state response agencies. The EMCC spent a large portion of the last year updating existing plans and procedures to develop the final TSA-E Medical Coordination Center Standard Operating Guidelines (EMCC SOG). The EMCC SOG serves as the guiding document behind EMCC activity and activations, focusing on the EMCC’s six (6) core functions:  Crisis Applications Facilitation and Support  Preparations for Patient Reception/Distribution  Medical Shelter Resource Support  DDC/EOC Liaison Support  Texas Emergency Medical Task Force  24/7 Duty Phone Monitoring 21
