This video contains a quick discussion suggesting how to test this system. For example, send people to all parts of the facility and note when they hear or read something. Include a short mention of social media and texting as alerting mechanisms in this video. #31 We have a tested facility-wide warning system.

This video expands on the question by pointing out all the different types of physical and digital records that they want to protect.

Touch on the use of tabletop exercises and live drills as one approach to this challenge. #43 All emergency response team members are given ongoing emergency response training

This video points out that during a crisis, especially a wide-scale crisis such as a severe storm, staff may be worried about family members, friends, pets, or important possessions. Having a household plan can reduce this anxiety, help keep people productive, and increases the safety net to those outside of the facility since they are also doing preparedness planning. #52 Staff members are encouraged to have emergency plans for their households.

This video makes the point that having these reports is a good way to notify management of any issues that need attention. These reports can be positive and used to highlight how well a situation was handled. They can open the door to the concept of root-cause analysis. #47 After-action reports are completed for every emergency incident/exercise.

This video clarifies the role and therefore the membership of the ERT versus the planning group. #49 A date for the next update to the Ready Rating Assessment has been scheduled.
