Potential Disasters
As Soon As Possible
EXAMPLE OF WHAT TO ADDRESS - use this example to write your Disaster Plan and
Procedure.
1. Look for injured employees or residents. Help clear debris and care for the injured.
2. Extinguish all smoking materials. You may have a broken gas line, which could ignite a
fire/explosion.
3. Remain calm. Even though the main force of the disaster may be over, there may still be a
danger. For example, earthquakes are frequently followed by aftershocks and although the
hurricane is over, a tropical storm may still be in effect.
4. Do NOT leave your facility until it has been determined that travel is safe.
5. Conduct a complete safety inspection as soon as possible after the disaster.
6. Assess the damages and call your insurance carrier or retain the services of a property
damage and liability insurance carrier. Check for:
▪
Structural Damage – Block access to areas where structural damage is apparent.
▪
Damage to Water Pipes – Shut off water supply – block access to flooded area until the
water on the floor can be cleaned up.
▪
Damaged Electrical Outlets or Cords – Shut off electrical power or discontinue use until
repaired.
▪
Loose Lighting Fixtures, Cabinets, Shelves, Etc. – Block access to the area until
repaired.
▪
Broken Windows and Doors – Tape or take other measures to secure loose glass.
▪
Keep employees out of these areas until repairs have been made.
▪
Gas Leaks – Shut off the gas supply. Prohibit smoking on the premises.
▪
Stairways – Remove any debris, secure handrails and block access until repaired.
▪
Fuse Boxes or Circuit Breakers – Shut off power until repaired.
