       18A  Emergency and disaster management

Outcome: Emergency and disaster management includes planning that ensures that the risks to the health, safety and wellbeing of participants that may arise in an emergency or disaster are considered and mitigated, and ensures the continuity of supports critical to the health, safety and wellbeing of participants in an emergency or disaster.

         To achieve this outcome, the following indicators should be demonstrated:
           (1) Measures are in place to enable continuity of supports that are critical to the safety, health and wellbeing of each participant before, during and after an emergency or disaster.
           (2) The measures include planning for each of the following:
              (a) preparing for, and responding to, the emergency or disaster;
              (b) making changes to participant supports;
              (c) adapting, and rapidly responding, to changes to participant supports and to other interruptions;
              (d) communicating changes to participant supports to workers and to participants and their support networks.
           (3) The governing body develops emergency and disaster management plans (the plans), consults with participants and their support networks about the plans and puts the plans in place.
           (4) The plans explain and guide how the governing body will respond to, and oversee the response to, an emergency or disaster.
           (5) Mechanisms are in place for the governing body to actively test the plans, and adjust them, in the context of a particular kind of emergency or disaster.
           (6) The plans have periodic review points to enable the governing body to respond to the changing nature of an emergency or disaster.
           (7) The governing body regularly reviews the plans, and consults with participants and their support networks about the reviews of the plans.
           (8) The governing body communicates the plans to workers, participants and their support networks.
           (9) Each worker is trained in the implementation of the plans.
