St. Joseph Senior Living Emergency Operations Plan

At St. Joseph Care Center dba St. Joseph Senior Living, the management of emergencies begins well
before they occur, through collaborative planning and capacity building. The community along with
its public and private partners, must work together to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to,
and recover from possible threats and hazards that pose a risk to the community.
The St. Joseph Senior Living Emergency Operations Plan represents a combination of best practices,
collaborative planning, and lessons learned from real-world response. The plan is designed to save
lives, reduce injuries, and limit property damage before, during, and after an emergency. It describes
the notification and communications process, as well as how community resources are mobilized
and coordinated.
This plan fulfills the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ all-hazards approach requirement to
prepare and keep current an Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) to respond to disasters or large-scale
emergencies. It also incorporates the National Incident Management System (NIMS) as the standard
for emergency response operations.
This plan supersedes all previous versions and may be modified upon approval of the
CEO/Administrator.
Users of this document are encouraged to recommend changes that will improve the clarity and use
of this plan.
