EMResource is a web-based program designed to equip health care and emergency response organizations with practical, convenient views of area and regional disaster-related resources. The Kansas Statewide Healthcare Emergency Preparedness Coalition is seeking volunteers to assist with review and recommendations on a long term care EMResource. Volunteers will be oriented to the system via webinar and then meet electronically to complete their task. No travel will be involved. The deadline for implementation for the LTC-focused EMResource is the end of March. 

Contact Sue Cooper at scooper@srhc.com or via phone at (785) 452-7165 as soon as possible if you wish to have input into the development of the LTC system. (Note: Sue welcomes volunteers from any part of the state, but is especially needing volunteers from northwest and southeast Kansas.)
