TY - JOUR PY - 2018// TI - Implementation of Florida Long Term Care Emergency Preparedness Portal web site, 2015-2017 JO - American journal of public health A1 - Blake, Sarah C. A1 - Hawley, Jonathan N. A1 - Henkel, April G. A1 - Howard, David H. SP - S399 EP - S401 VL - 108 IS - S5 N2 - We built an online emergency preparedness Web site for Florida nursing homes after an earlier study revealed gaps in information and a lack of available preparedness resources for long-term care providers. The Long Term Care Emergency Preparedness Portal ( www.ltcprepare.org ) was launched in January 2015. We assessed its use and sought suggestions for improvement.

FINDINGS indicate that long-term care providers in Florida regularly use the Web site, and they welcome the opportunity to further leverage technology to aid their disaster planning. (Am J Public Health. Published online ahead of print September 27, 2018: e1-e3. doi:10.2105/AJPH.2018.304557).
