Emergency Response Plan
Directions
Check that the posted plan includes VERY clear turn-by-turn driving instructions that can be read to the EMS operator. It should start with directions from the closest town and give accurate mileage, land marks, turns, road names, etc.
Latitude/Longitude (Lat/Long)
- Confirm that the latitude (lat) and longitude (long) coordinates are posted for possible helicopter operations.
- Check that a short description of the designated landing zone is included for briefing the pilot.
Dialing Instructions
- Check that clear, simple instructions on how to use designated emergency radio and satellite phone systems are posted.
- The number of the emergency phone should be posted and someone should remain next to the communication device once a call has been made to provide information to return calls from responders.
