Get to know us

The Region E Executive Committee is comprised of one representative from each of our core members: Hospital, Public Health, EMA, EMS, and Skilled Nursing. Together we go over plans, exercises, budgets, and other coalition duties by meeting each month. We take information from these meetings to share at each quarterly coalition meeting.

Why become a member?

When a disaster hits a community or region, healthcare systems will be impacted and may need to respond. When healthcare systems already have relationships, it is easier to work together to efficiently respond to the disaster. Coordinated regional planning will create a more prepared and resilient healthcare system. As a member, your agency will:


Build ties with healthcare organizations, emergency management agencies, & community partners.


Work together in the planning process to address regional preparedness gaps.


Gain access to training, exercises, and regional assets provided by Region E.
