• Set Up Emergency Contact List

  Compile and distribute an emergency contact list that includes key personnel and emergency services contact information.

• Conduct Emergency Drills

  Plan and execute regular emergency drills to assess response times and ensure staff familiarity with emergency procedures.

• Evaluate and Update Checklist

  After each drill, review the effectiveness of the response, gather feedback from staff, and make necessary updates to the emergency response checklist.
