Emergency Action Plan (EAP)
One component of this EAP must include “procedures for emergency evacuation, including type of evacuation and exit route assignments.” This plan should include the following components:
- Who is empowered to dial 911
- Who else must be notified when 911 has been dialed
- The exact location of the emergency within the facility
- A designated person to meet responders
- A designated location to meet the responders
- Clearly defined roles for all personnel who are assigned duties in the event of an emergency
- Intra-facility communications, including notification to other staff in the facility so that all appropriate personnel know what is happening and what must be done to support the response.
