Patient Emergency Planning, Special Needs Registry and Shelter Care

Sets what the Agency does for each patient and caregiver before, during and after an emergency: telling every patient at admission about the Agency’s plan and the county special needs registry, documenting whether the patient will evacuate and who will give care, collecting and submitting registration information, giving registration information every year, keeping the medication, supply and equipment list for each special-needs patient, confirming each patient’s plan when a threat is imminent, staffing patients in special needs shelters, and telling patients when services will be interrupted and restored.
