FEMA REGION II WEBINAR

Monday, June 29th, from 2:00 to 3:00 PM ET [English]
Tuesday, Tuesday, June 30th, from 2:00 to 3:00 PM ET [Spanish]

Caribbean Hurricane Preparedness During COVID 19
Week 2 Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is partnering with FEMA to bring partners in the Caribbean a webinar series on Hurricane Preparedness during COVID-19. As it is predicted to be a severe hurricane season, co-occurring with the current pandemic, there is a need for health and social services stakeholders to better understand HHS programs during a Public Health Emergency, including waivers and flexibilities to standard programs.

The second webinar in the series will focus on the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). During a Public Health Emergency there are Medicare and Medicaid flexibilities and waivers to help during the response. CMS will describe the Medicare and Medicaid programs during a disaster, including Medicaid, Medicare Fee for Service, and Medicare Advantage and Prescription Drug Plans.  CMS will touch on the unique context of COVID-19 during hurricane season, and they will also share lessons learned from the Hurricanes Irma and Maria response efforts.
