The new letter (PIN 23-11-CCLD) provides information on the Everbridge Emergency Notification System and its continued use for notifying healthcare facility licensees during disasters and emergencies, such as wildfires, earthquakes, and Public Safety Power Shutoffs. The system will also be used for severe weather-related events like extreme heat and flooding. There are two types of Everbridge disaster notifications: those that request a response related to the facility's operational status and those that are strictly informational. Licensees have one hour to respond to notifications that request a response. It is crucial for facilities to respond even if they are still operational or unaffected by the event. The letter also reminds licensees to review and update their emergency/disaster plans and contact information with their Regional Office.
