Emergency Planning Checklist

Description:

This is an emergency planning checklist prepared by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The document identifies dozens of issues critical to effective emergency planning in long term care settings. Although written for use in institutional settings, there are several ideas that apply well to any home.

In addition to being useful to anyone involved in incident management, risk management or quality management, it reminds us that planning is best begun-- for safety's safe -- before the catastrophe, not during or after the event.
