A comprehensive emergency response plan can better prepare occupants to respond to emergency situations, helping to limit casualties and diminish the negative impacts of a disaster.
Key Terms
- An Emergency Preparedness Plan is a written document that helps to define and guide individual actions to be taken in an emergency situation.
- Emergency Resources as referred to in the strategy language are items that prepare regular occupants for a range of emergency situations. Sample items include first aid kits, flashlights, food, and water.
For full strategy and documentation requirements, please refer to the digital scorecard made available on the Fitwel Platform.
Strategy Insights
- Project teams have complete flexibility to identify the scenario(s) or emergencies that a comprehensive plan addresses. For some, this may include fire emergencies only. For others, this may address a contagious outbreak or a natural disaster/weather-related event.
- Drills and training are intended to involve regular occupants in Workplace scorecards.
Documentation Guidance
- Fitwel requires that the project team submit an official copy of the emergency preparedness plan. Emailed copies or other non-official documentation will not be accepted.
