Disaster Management
Paris Regional Medical Center can be threatened by emergency and disaster situations both natural (such as flash flooding, hurricanes, tornadoes, and fires) and man-made (such as hazardous materials accidents, resource shortages, civil disorders, and terrorist threats), and the purpose of the PRMC Emergency Management Plan is to provide guidance and information to the response actions of clinical and administrative departments in crisis situations. Knowing what to do and not do can be your best protection during disasters. It is your responsibility! Your family could be anywhere when disaster strikes – at work, school, or in the car. North Texas is spread out, so it's especially important that those who depend on you are prepared. How will you find each other? How will you know if your children, elderly family members, and pets are safe? Disasters and major emergencies often strike quickly and without warning. What would you do if basic services – water, gas, electricity, or phones – were cut off? Be sure to discuss the dangers of fire, severe weather, earthquakes, and other emergencies with all household members. Create a plan and post it where everyone will see it. |
