What’s a fan out?

Emergency fan out is used as a means to notify workers of an emergency. It’s a telephone based procedure where the person at the top of a call tree (pre-identified individuals such as unit lead, manager, etc.) starts a communication chain by contacting assigned people. These people, in turn, contact additional groups of workers assigned to them until the information is completely circulated. Our Emergency Fan-Out (EMER-110) policy requires that Managers or designates update these fan out lists on a bi-annual basis.

Did You Know: Updated fan out lists are due by March 20th?
