Emergency Management Plan	Evacuation Procedures	Continuity Plans

• Service Area Continuity Plan
• Emergency Management Plan (organisational roles and support systems)
• Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP)
• Business Resumption Plan (BRP)

Ensure these are accessible and designated key staff members who have the authority/scope to initiate their action.
While the facility deals with the immediacy of the emergency and evacuation plan, the organisation/service needs to have developed continuity plans that assist in the delivery of business service and collection of income. Consider:

• Review scope and terms of insurance policy.
• Establish if the insurance covers loss of personal property, loss of revenue, general liability, debris removal and
  any other expenses related to disaster recovery.
• Consider the impact of long term empty residential beds post emergency and evacuation.
• Accessing credit/finance for essential services and resources
• Maintenance of payroll systems
• Facilitating resident/client access to money for the short term
• Projected financial implications of emergency or disruption to service, when impact will be felt and at
  what point a lack of available cash for the organisation becomes an issue.
• Income collection systems – how are these to be maintained if key information is lost, or not able
  to be obtained (for example
• Resident Classification Assessments are not able to be conducted or have been delayed, resulting in a forfeit
  of established categories)
• Establish the essential tasks to be activated in the case of an emergency and evacuation
• Designate and document in job descriptions the corporate coordinator for the continuity plan
• Identify the staff team members who will take over some of the tasks associated with business continuity
• Establish documentation records and tracking of actions and plans, to assist in time management
  of the continuity plan.
