also here is the Introduction

What do you envision when you hear the term Emergency Management Committee? Who sits in the chairs? Who SHOULD sit in the chairs? Speaking of chairs, who occupies the Chair’s chair? What qualifications should the members have? What is the EMC expected to do? Once again, this entity is far different today than it was in the early days of the hospital Disaster Committee.

Describe how to develop a healthcare emergency management committee.

Understand the roles and responsibilities of a healthcare emergency management committee.
