Emergency preparedness · EMS agency edition

Survey-ready
in a weekend.
Not a citation.

EMS agencies aren't covered by the CMS Emergency Preparedness Rule — your obligations come from state licensure, county plans, coalition and grant participation, and accreditation. This kit is built for exactly that layered reality: six editable Word documents — operations plan, MCI-plus-storm tabletop, HSEEP after-action reports — in the format inspectors and coalitions recognize.

The problem

No federal rule covers you. Somehow that means MORE paperwork, not less.

State licensure, county plans, mutual aid compacts, coalition membership, grant conditions, accreditation — every one expects documented readiness, and none of them hands you the documents:

HSEEP

Exercises with no paper trail

Coalitions and grant programs expect annual, HSEEP-documented exercises with after-action reports. The storm your crews actually worked doesn't count until somebody writes it up.

MUTUAL AID

Agreements that live in a drawer

Reviewers ask for the signed agreement, the activation procedure, and the interop channel card — not a handshake between chiefs.

RECALL

A callback plan nobody has tested

"We'd call everybody" isn't a tier structure. Inspectors and your own worst night both ask the same question: how deep is the bench, really, at 2 a.m.?

What's inside

Six documents. Eight binder tabs. One boring inspection.

Each template is written specifically for EMS operations — recall tiers and move-up coverage instead of bed counts, MCI doctrine instead of shelter plans — in the HSEEP structure reviewers recognize.

Not a 300-page manual. Every document is built to be completed, signed, and put in a binder — because a plan that exists is worth more than a plan that impresses.

How it works

Download Friday. Adopt Monday.

Hour one

Make it yours

Replace the bracketed placeholders with your agency's details, score your hazards, and complete the operational snapshot. Everything is plain Word — no software to learn.

This month

Train and exercise

Run the 30-minute staff training from the outline, then the 90-minute tabletop with your team. Sign-in sheets and documentation forms are included.

Inspection day

Hand over the binder

Eight tabs, everything current and signed. The licensure inspection, coalition review, or grant audit becomes a ten-minute conversation.

"I built this kit because a twelve-person ambulance service is expected to produce the same readiness paper trail as a city department — with no one whose job that is. You shouldn't need a consultant retainer to prove your agency can surge for the worst night of the year. You need documents that are already 90% written, in the format every reviewer recognizes."
Dr. Arzoo Salami — practicing physician & founder, SurgeReady

Other facility types

Same mission. Different rulebooks. Dedicated editions.

The Emergency Preparedness Rule covers seventeen provider types — and a surgery center's emergency is nothing like a home health agency's. Each edition is rewritten for its care model: what the surveyor checks, what your staff actually do, and the exercise that fits your day.

§484.102

Home Health

Home-based patients, classification rosters, field staff — the original edition of the kit.

See the edition — $299
§418.113

Hospice

Home- and facility-based patients, comfort-kit continuity, volunteers, on-call guidance for families — including a death during the emergency.

See the edition — $299
§416.54

Surgery Center

Patients under anesthesia when the power fails: complete-vs-abort decisions, PACU transfer, tracking, closure and verified reopening.

See the edition — $299
§491.12

Rural Health Clinic

Closure decisions and community notification, the patients who can't wait a week, telehealth fallback, and vaccine cold-chain failure.

See the edition — $299
§485.625

Critical Access Hospital

The inpatient rule in full: two exercises a year, subsistence math, emergency power documentation, patient tracking, and the evacuate-vs-shelter decision.

See the edition — $299

Beyond the binder · SurgeReady Software

Templates make you survey-ready. The software runs the drill itself: evaluators tap observations on phones, command watches live, and the HSEEP After-Action Report writes itself the moment you close the exercise. Founding-agency pilot now open.

Questions

Asked by every administrator so far

We're not covered by the CMS rule — so why do we need this?

Because everything else expects it anyway: state licensure inspections, county and coalition plans, mutual aid compacts, accreditation reviews, and grant audits all ask for documented plans, exercises, and after-action reports. This kit is honest about that — it cites HSEEP, NIMS/ICS, and state-level expectations, not federal E-tags that don't apply to EMS.

We had a real emergency last year. Do we still need an exercise?

A documented real activation counts — it exempts you from the next required full-scale exercise for one year, if you wrote it up. The After-Action Review form in the kit is exactly that documentation.

Is this a subscription?

No. $299 once, files are yours forever, and updates are included by email as HSEEP and state expectations evolve.

We're a different provider type. Is there an edition for us?

Editions exist for home health agencies (42 CFR §484.102), hospices (§418.113), ambulatory surgery centers (§416.54), rural health clinics (§491.12), critical access hospitals (§485.625), and EMS agencies (HSEEP-framed) — see "Other facility types" above. Run more than one provider type? Email us about a bundle.

Is this legal advice?

No. It's a professionally drafted documentation starting point that you customize and your leadership adopts. Regulations change — verify current requirements, and consult counsel for legal questions.
