Emergency Preparedness Program
You can’t control the environment, but you can control your response.
The health and safety of your staff and residents is your top priority, but the unpredictable nature of our environment requires providers to have an effective Emergency Preparedness Program (EPP) in place to ensure safety for all.
Three Steps to Effective Emergency Preparedness:
Plan
Create a roadmap to identify your organization’s action plan.
Execute
Practice that action plan to condition your staff and residents.
Sustain
Reinforce your plan regularly so your organization is always prepared to spring into action.
What’s Included in the Program?
Benefits of the Program
