Background -
The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Office of Emergency Management (OEM) owns and deploys Containerized Fold Out Rigid Shelters (CFORTS) with medical treatment capabilities across the VHA Enterprise. VHA OEM currently operates 19 CFORTS nationally in support of natural disasters, infrastructure repair support and special event support for Veteran care. One of the units was destroyed in an accident and is authorized to be replaced by VHA leadership from the original equipment manufacturer.
