A reminder about our threat status

They keep reporting that the weather Saturday will be rough. I wanted to remained you about our threat status plan.
Green= normal day to day with "normal" threats
Yellow= The heighten sense of awareness of a possible MCI or MCI threat. Examples include, severe weather, major events that have a high suspicion of terrorism such as the president in town or other major event. This status will be signaled by a "blast page" All employees are to be prepared to come in if call on. The Supervisor staff calls in and gives their availability for the following 24-48 hours (depends on the event) All units are checked and prepared to be put in immediate service, the shop does only necessary repairs to units. The generator is started and checked as well as several other items on a preplanned check list.
Red= all units are staff even if there are no patients yet. This allows us to spread the units in case of sever weather, or terrorist threats.

Of course there is much more but I wanted to remind you of the procedure. I hope that we don't have to use any of this for Saturday, but it don't hurt to be reminded. Keep save.

May you live all your life
