What plans and procedures should be in place in case of natural disaster or weather emergency?
Follow procedures in your written plan. The plan must include procedures to be followed in the event of all disasters which may occur in your programs’ geographical area (earthquake, flash flood, forest fire, electrical storm, tornado, mudslide, etc.). While recognizing that every contingency cannot be anticipated, there are several events that could lead to the need to find a different route. The intent is to assure that there are specific procedures in place in the event unplanned re-routing is required by any situation. Possible hazards, in addition to weather conditions such as ice or water build up, include water or natural gas line breaks, emergency road repair, natural disaster damage caused by earthquake, tornado, or flood, a motor vehicle accident, a building fire, or a crime scene.
