INTRODUCTION The Emergency Management/disaster plan provides an orderly procedure to be implemented in an emergency to assure that the health care needs of patients continue to be met. This plan is developed as a means to continue health and medical care for the active patients of ______________________________________________, in the manner that is as seamless as possible before, during, and after disasters, systems failure and other emergencies. It is our policy that patients will be alerted, either in person or by phone, in the event of an impending, or onset of a disaster that may affect their home health care. We will make every reasonable effort to ensure that all patients who need continuing care receive it through competent caregivers, HHA staff, or through the services provided at emergency shelters. Our staff is trained in this Emergency Plan during their formal orientation to our HHA and at least annually thereafter. All staff who would have been scheduled for work during a declared emergency must report to work as specified herein.
