With recent events such as Hurricane Sandy, Hurricane Irene and other natural disasters which have affected both States and the provider community, CMS and the Quality, Safety & Oversight Group (formerly Survey & Certification Group) have created this space for State Survey Agencies (SAs), their State, Tribal, Regional, local emergency management partners to view past documents and information. This area includes past lessons learned as well as frequently asked questions which have come up during an emergency incident.
HHS is committed to making its websites and documents accessible to the widest possible audience, including individuals with disabilities.
