All employees will review disaster preparation and emergency action plan procedures
with their Department Heads.
New employees will be introduced to our emergency action plans via employee
orientation.
Mock disaster training will be conducted annually and will involve local police and fire
authorities.
Quarterly training will approach a walk through to functional drills to an evacuation
drill leading to full-scale mock disaster training.
Walk-Through Drill -- The Business Contingency Planning Team,
o
Department Heads and Recovery Teams will perform their emergency
response functions.
Functional Drills -- These drills will test specific functions such as
o
medical response, emergency notifications, warning and
communications procedures and equipment, though not necessarily at
the same time. Facility shutdown procedures will be tested, reviewed
and modified as needed. Personnel are asked to evaluate the
systems and identify problem areas.
Evacuation Drill -- Personnel walk the evacuation route to a designated
o
area where procedures for accounting for all personnel are tested.
Participants are asked to make notes as they go along of what might
become a hazard during an emergency, e.g., stairways cluttered with
debris, smoke in the hallways. Plans are to be modified accordingly.
Full-Scale Exercise -- A real-life emergency situation is simulated as
o
closely as possible. This exercise involves company emergency
response personnel, employees and management, and community
response organizations.
