Colorado’s health care system may be overwhelmed during the medical response to a disaster such as a flu pandemic. Private practicing physician will likely be on the front lines of any response to a major event.

Are you and your family prepared?
Are you and your practice prepared?
Would you know what to do?
Do you know what others would do?

Find the answers, talk with Colorado physicians like yourself and access the resources you need to be ready by visiting the CMS Disaster Preparedness Website. 

What is the CMS Disaster Preparedness Community?

This site has integrated many tools to help community members connect with each other.  CMS Disaster Preparedness Community acts as a “one stop shop” for physicians by providing up-to-date news, resources, calendar of events as well as discussion boards and email.

About this project

The Colorado Medical Society, in collaboration with 10 component and two specialty societies, has contracted with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment to coordinate disaster preparedness, planning and response activities for physicians. The goal is to assure that every Colorado physician understands what would happen in the event of a disaster such as a flu pandemic and has developed and practiced a plan for his or her individual, practice and community response to such an event.

The site is designed for use by Colorado physicians.
