Emergency/Disaster Preparedness

Mercy's Disaster Preparedness Plan ensures that Mercy effectively protects the safety and health of staff, patients and visitors and ensures effective response to disasters and emergencies that affect the environment of care and impede Mercy's ability to provide quality services.

We have identified the need to design, implement and continuously monitor the effectiveness and reliability of an Emergency Management Plan.  The plan details the process of how to effectively respond to an emergency or disastrous event.

The Emergency Management Plan is implemented at least twice a year, either in response to an emergency or in planned drills.
