Emergency Preparedness

HHS Hospital Preparedness Program (HPP) Grant

The Hospital Preparedness Program (HPP) Grant is the primary source of federal funding for healthcare systems to advance readiness for disasters. The Administration for Strategic Preparedness & Response (ASPR) administers the grant and provides guidance and technical support through ASPR TRACIE and regional field officers. In Louisiana, the LHA Foundation assists and supports the state with distributing this federal award to healthcare coalitions, inclusive of core partners from hospitals and EMS providers. 

ESF-8: Health & Medical Response

The LHA Foundation works with the Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) to support Emergency Support Function 8 (ESF-8) preparedness and response activities through the Hospital Preparedness Program (HPP). Operating as a statewide coalition comprised of nine regions, this network actively participates in planning and responding to regional and state-level emergencies. Designated Regional Coordinators (DRCs) play a pivotal role in fostering relationships with hospitals, local emergency managers, Offices of Public Health (OPH), and other community agencies. Their community-centered approach enables the development of effective preparedness strategies while strengthening regional health and medical response capabilities.
