Answer:

In the United States, the joint commission is the one that regulates that hospitals have an emergency preparedness plan that is evaluated through drills or actual participation in a real event as a mininum two times per year.

One of the drills or events must include community-wide resources and an influx of actual or simulated patients to assess the ability of colaborative efforts and command structures.
