IU Health Starke Hospital Management Director Ed Barcus is part of the Starke County Local Emergency Planning Committee and he recently completed a Hazardous Preparedness Analysis which identifies the top emergencies the hospital could face in 2013.
Tornadoes, winter storms, temperature extremes and mass casualty events were high on the list. With that, Barcus completed emergency guidelines for his staff and all colleagues to follow in case of a disastrous event.
