Disaster Reaction
It is vital that appropriate actions are taken during an actual disaster or emergency while it is occurring. The following are steps that should be taken at that time if the disaster warrants the reaction:
- The Emergency Response Team (ERT) will conduct a safe evacuation from the health plan office building.
- Building hazards will be identified, and safe zones will be established.
- The building will be secured.
- Life safety equipment will be shut off.
- Generators will be engaged.
- IT systems will be switched over to the colocation site.
- IT systems will be methodically shut down according to the technical protocols.
