This issue of The Express highlights the following new resources:

• Healthcare Coalition Radiation Emergency Surge Annex Template
• Pediatric Surge Resources for COVID-19 (Technical Assistance [TA] Response)
• Sample Physician's Orders for Monoclonal Antibody Infusion Treatment (TA Response)

Our Hurricane Resources Page, Issue 10 of The Exchange (on preparing for and responding to wildfires and planned outages), and Natural Disasters Topic Collection may be useful as our stakeholders experience related challenges.

These resources may also be helpful for those managing COVID-19 patient surge:

• COVID-19 Patient Surge and Scarce Resource Allocation Resources Page
• COVID-19 Workforce Virtual Toolkit: Resources for Healthcare Decision-Makers Responding to COVID-19 Workforce Concerns
• COVID-19 Behavioral Health Resources

Please continue to access our Novel Coronavirus Resources Page, the National Institutes of Health Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Treatment Guidelines, and CDC’s Coronavirus webpage, and reach out if you need technical assistance.

The 2019-2023 HPP Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) requires HCCs to develop a complementary coalition-level radiation emergency surge annex to their base medical surge/trauma mass casualty response plan. ASPR TRACIE developed this annex to help our stakeholders improve capacity and capabilities to manage exposed or potentially exposed patients during a radiation emergency. This template provides general headers and descriptions for a sample HCC radiation emergency surge annex. It includes links to helpful resources (e.g., sample HCC plans). HCCs are not required to use the ASPR TRACIE template but are encouraged to do so to promote consistent operational planning and formatting of the specialty annexes.

For additional information, check out our recently updated Radiological and Nuclear Topic Collection and our CBRN Resources Page.
