HHS Essential Elements of Information for Emergency Managers

Guidance from the HHS.gov website.

The following popped up on my Google search for items of interest on Emergency Management, Essential Elements of Information Publication Guidance for Emergency Management Officials.

The content is described this way, "This guide, geared towards emergency management officials, highlights an agreed-upon definition of the information sharing components necessary for successful cross-jurisdictional information sharing. The three sections include an executive summary, a description of the Essential Elements of Information (EEI) design process, and Standard Operating Procedure Annex Templates that can be tailored as needed."

Eric Holdeman is a contributing writer for Emergency Management magazine and is the former director of the King County, Wash., Office of Emergency Management.
