One of the tools that should be in your healthcare coalition member toolbox is the KS Health Alert Network. KS-HAN is an internet-based, secure, emergency alerting system that allows general public health and emergency preparedness information to be shared rapidly. KS-HAN has the ability to alert registrants by organization, occupation, county, or group through e-mail, work and cell phone, and SMS text.
Additionally, KS-HAN can be utilized as a document storing and sharing website. Since KS-HAN is the primary system used by KDHE for communication during an emergency, it is important to ensure that your organization´s registrants and their contact information are kept updated. If any of the below listed information needs updated contact the KS-HAN Administrator at [email protected] and they can assist you with making the necessary changes.
