Departmental Plans 

The hospital is made up of numerous departments that are vital to patient care. Each department requires emergency response procedures when disaster strikes their area or services they depend on to perform their function. This plan pulls together the detailed resources, requirements and procedures needed to execute a successful recovery of critical departments.

Key areas addressed:

• Recovery team structure for each of the critical departments.
• Downtime procedures.
• Critical files, systems and personnel needed to run the department.
• Alternate recovery locations and options.
• Training and education.
• Telecommunication needs and requirements.
• Departmental interdependencies.
• Loss of information technology.
