HPP Fact Sheets and Awardee Information

HPP has a suite of educational communications resources to equip stakeholders with the information they need to communicate the Hospital Preparedness Program’s (HPP) mission and value to appropriate audiences. Stakeholders can use these products to understand the program and educate others about its impact and efforts to build a more prepared health care and emergency response system.

HPP-Related Programs and Priorities

• Regional Disaster Health Response System (RDHRS): ASPR is developing a RDHRS to expand access to specialty care expertise and increase medical surge capacity by improving collaboration among local health care coalitions (HCC), trauma centers, public and private health care facilities, and emergency medical services. This tiered, regional system will build upon HPP’s HCC structure.


• Pilot Projects to Demonstrate a Better Approach to Disaster Medical Care: ASPR has awarded two $3 million grants through HPP to demonstrate how a new Regional Disaster Health Response System could meet these needs, including trauma, burn, or other specialty care during a national emergency and save more lives.
