The Emergency Preparedness Plan consists of (1) the Disaster Plan (covering backup
and recovery of IT functions, mutual aid and transfer agreements
with other organizations, and coordination with other
external entities); (2) the Prevention Plan (including audits and
training); (3) the Staff Backup and Recovery Plan (covering
emergency staffing plans, transportation, and childcare and
senior-care plans); (4) the Resident Safety Plan (accounting
for the movement of residents to safe underground locations
in the event of tornadoes or for transfer to other facilities); (5)
the Communication Plan (including a notification tree); and (6)
the Operations Continuity Plan. The Emergency Preparedness Plan is reviewed by the
department of health in each state
