Q3 Preparedness Training: Workshops, Tabletops, and Full-Scale Exercises with CHUG

Q3 Preparedness Training: Workshops, Tabletops, and Full-Scale Exercises with CHUG

Emergencies don’t wait for Long-Term Care and Skilled Nursing Facilities, and neither should your readiness.

CHUG’s Q3 events are designed to help healthcare teams strengthen response plans, improve continuity of operations, and stay prepared for disruptions like cyber attacks and environmental events.

This quarter focuses on:

• Cyber attack response and recovery
• COOP and downtime incident planning
• Flood preparedness and operational continuity

Each topic includes a full progression of training from workshops to tabletop exercises to full-scale exercises, so your team can build skills step by step and apply them in realistic scenarios.

Designed specifically for long-term care, skilled nursing facilities, and healthcare leaders, these sessions deliver practical, hands-on readiness, not just theory.

Members can access and register for upcoming sessions through the CHUG portal.
