Patient Evacuation

The Texas Department of State Health Services reminds hospitals to follow standard hospital evacuation procedures when deciding how and when to relocate patients.
  • Primary coordination should begin at the local Emergency Operations Center level
  • Hospitals with questions about this process may contact THA's Ernie Schmid, FACHE, at 512/465-1557 or eschmid@tha.org
