The Importance of Family Reunification Hurricane Katrina Hurricane Rita Boston Marathon Bombing Virginia Tech

The Importance of Family Reunification Hurricane Katrina Hurricane Rita Boston Marathon Bombing Virginia Tech Shootings Large-Scale Transportation Accidents Studies have shown that nearly 2/3 rds of parents would disregard an evacuation order or shelter-in-place order and go directly to their child’s school or scene of an emergency. When parents are familiar with the emergency reunification plans of their child’s temporary care providers, they are more likely to follow the orders of emergency officials, making everyone safer.

Virginia’s Patient Tracking Program Every hospital in the Commonwealth of Virginia uses the Virginia

Virginia’s Patient Tracking Program Every hospital in the Commonwealth of Virginia uses the Virginia Healthcare Alerting & Status System (VHASS) to report critical information about the status of their facilities. Information is reported to the RHCC and other emergency response entities across the state. During Mass Casualty Incidents, hospitals enter basic patient information into VHASS. At the request of the RHCC, the 2 -1 -1 Call Center activates for the “Patient Locator” service. Family members can call 2 -1 -1, and a trained operator searches the VHASS database for a patient “match”. If a match is found, the caller is provided the hospital’s phone #.

Requesting Activation of 2 -1 -1 Your hospital may request that the RHCC activate

Requesting Activation of 2 -1 -1 Your hospital may request that the RHCC activate the 211 Patient Locator service if: 1) Your facility has received patients from the scene of an MCI. 2) Your facility is receiving phone calls from individuals trying to locate a patient involved in the MCI. Call the RHCC and request activation of the 2 -1 -1 Patient Locator service: 1 -800 -276 -0683
