2.F.19. Emergency plan

NARR Standard 3.0: 2.F.19. Plan for emergencies including intoxication, withdrawal and overdose

When all members of a family or community prepare for emergencies together, their feeling of connectedness increases. The same is true for recovery house residents. Emergency preparedness protects the health and safety of residents (physical environment) and solidifies community (authority base; recovery orientation). — NARR Standard 3.0 Compendium

The standard is upheld by the following rules:

• 2.F.19.a.  Verification that emergency numbers, procedures (including overdose and other emergency responses) and

  evacuation maps are posted in conspicuous locations.

• 2.F.19.b.  Documentation that emergency contact information is collected from residents.
• 2.F.19.c.  Documentation that residents are oriented to emergency

  procedures.

• 2.F.19.d.  Verification that Naloxone is accessible at each location, and appropriate individuals are knowledgeable and trained in its use.
