Resources Available for Emergency Preparedness for Assisted Living Communities

The Bureau of Fire Services (BFS) has provided several resources with HCAM to share with members. Response to Kitchen Fires, Sample Fire Door Inspection Form, PowerPoint on Annual Fire Door Inspections, and Documentation Review are all resources to help in your Emergency Preparedness planning. HCAM has been in recent discussions with the Emergency Preparedness Coordinators from two different county health departments. As we work together to better prepare assisted living communities for future emergencies, communication is key. Knowing who the contact person at your local health department is the first step. Here is the list of contacts for all 45 local health departments.
