NYSDOH announces Evacuation of Facilities in Disasters Systems (eFINDS) Training

The eFINDS application is the Health Commerce System (HCS) https://commerce.health.state.ny.us platform for sharing of evacuee location information when facilities need to relocate their people. The application captures minimal amounts of data and allows facilities to track the evacuee movement to other facilities, facility types or temporary shelters. This information is shared in real time by Health Commerce System authorized users statewide, and was designed to document the location, as well as provide day to day or hourly updates as needed. eFINDS is a role-based application, therefore, the HCS Coordinator will need to assign the appropriate HCS users to the eFINDS Reader (for LHDs & NYSDOH ROs), or the facility eFINDS Data Reporter or eFINDS Reporting Administrator role. See full training announcement here.
