This week is Emergency Preparedness Week! This year’s theme is “Be Prepared. Know your Risks”. The intent of the theme is to encourage us all to understand the risks in our area and learn what actions we can take to protect ourselves, our families, and our community.

Emergency Preparedness at TBRHSC

Did you know that at TBRHSC, Emergency Preparedness has its own dedicated iNtranet page? It’s true! Be #ReadyforAnything by reviewing our safety huddles, posters, and training videos. Check it out on the iNtranet under Departments > Emergency Preparedness and Security > Emergency Preparedness or via this link, and follow along as we gradually build up this resource with new material!

And don’t forget to periodically review our emergency colour code policies and your departmental sub-plans. Emergency code policies are located:

• On the iNtranet under Corporate Info > Emergency Codes or at the bottom of the Main Page there is a “quick link” to Emergency Codes.
• Departmental Emergency Code binders

Our emergency colour codes and alerts aren’t meant to be a secret. Want to share with patients and visitors? No problem! Turn to page 25 of the Patient Care Resource booklet or direct them to https://tbrhsc.net/home/information-services/emergency-codes/.

If you have questions, please reach out to your manager or Mēsha Richard, Lead, Emergency Preparedness (ext. 6552 or mesha.richard@tbh.net).
