As hurricane season churns once again, individuals and communities near coastlines are anticipating the potential impact of powerful storms. While these efforts make the nightly news, employers in these areas also play an important role in preparation and response when disaster looms.

Catastrophic Case Management (CCM) prioritizes comprehensive planning, communication strategies, and proactive support systems. This allows employers to navigate the challenges with resilience while making sure employees are safe and well and business operations can get back up and running smoothly. During severe weather events, numerous things can adversely affect the care of an injured worker. A few examples include:

• Road closures/travel restrictions may restrict access to treatment or cause medical supply deliveries to be delayed or halted
• Required services may be unavailable or limited - e.g. electricity, heat, telephone/cell/internet, which can have catastrophic consequences, especially for those dependent on equipment such as ventilators, suction, and motorized wheelchairs.  

SO, HOW CAN YOU BEST PREPARE FOR THE UNEXPECTED?
