In 2012, Iroquois and HANYS developed a 96 Hour Sustainability Assessment framework for hospitals to determine sustainability periods and gaps for essential resources and assets, enabling the organization to make decisions relating to mitigation and plan review. Iroquois and HANYS developed analysis and calculation tools, guidance, and training to aid hospitals in the assessment process. Hospitals were reimbursed $5,000 in 2013 for conducting a 96 Hour Sustainability Assessment. The project framework and tools are scalable and modifiable based on facility operational needs. Project tools and resources include:

- **[96 Hour Sustainability Assessment Calculator, Chart and Tools](https://files.constantcontact.com/2569b0a0701/9faf597e-802e-4fe5-b4eb-e2d6f9f21d9f.xls?rdr=true)** – Calculates the number of hours resources and assets may be sustained; and provides a visual analysis of sustainability periods and gaps that may impact operations.
