Commentary
Existing human resource management data collection systems should be used to facilitate the sourcing of this information, with other external service contract information management systems.

Actions
Identify and incorporate internal key stakeholders in the Emergency Management Plan, and clarify their roles and responsibilities. Key stakeholders should include, contractors and other external service providers (for example, Security, Personnel agencies)

Identify and maintain an up to date contact list for:

Key Staff Other Staff Pharmacy
Specialist Personnel Relatives / Representatives General Practitioners
Service Providers Clients (for community providers)  

Establish and document mechanisms for timely contact (email/phone/SMS) during an emergency.
Implement a system to ensure that information is always available and current (these tasks may be written into job descriptions and duty statements, be reflected as a portfolio responsibility, may be tested on an ongoing basis through monitoring systems such as audits, and reported against as a routine agenda item for the Occupational Health and Safety Committee).
