Emergency Preparedness #8
Temporary Sheltering of Members
Our newly authorized Emergency Operations Plan defines actions to be taken when a critical situation occurs on the property. This “all hazards plan” identifies twelve situations that could risk personal safety or property damage. Each emergency situation is designated as an annex with specific instructions. Let’s look at Annex F: Temporary Sheltering of Members.
DID YOU KNOW…
…members without power or fuel are able to stay in the building during business hours for cooling in summer or warming in winter?
DO YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO WHEN A MEMBER SEEKS SHELTER?
The following procedures are to be followed:
- It is requested a call be made to the office in advance.
- It is understood there are no generators, cots, blankets, food or medical supplies available,
- Sheltering is possible only as the building has electricity and water supply available.
- The kitchen may be used if personal food is brought in.
- Before leaving to go home, the individuals will sign out at the administrative office.
