Are you prepared to weather a potential snowstorm, wildfire, or other natural disaster? This manual was designed to assist Home Health and Home Care Agencies in ensuring a proper emergency management plan is in place from day one. Creating a culture of preparedness will keep you, your staff, and your clients prepared for most disasters that might arise.

Avoid communication breakdowns, panic during emergency situations, and chaos during disasters. Your Emergency Preparedness Plan contains four core elements required by the both the state and federal regulators:

• Risk Assessment and Planning
• Policies and Procedures for Disaster Response
• Staff Communication Best Practices
• Recovery Procedures

In addition to the four core elements, we’ve included a section dedicated to training staff on disaster communication, and copyable client documents to ensure everyone is prepared.
