EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS PLANNING
Unionville Home Society (UHS) is committed to ensuring the health, safety, security and protection of its staff, residents, visitors, volunteers, students and contractors. As such, UHS has created a comprehensive Emergency Management Plan which includes identifying and avoiding or reducing risks, preparing for those that cannot be avoided, activating an emergency plan to respond to an emergency, and returning to normal functioning. This is called the 5 components of emergency management,
1. Prevention 2. Mitigation. 3. Preparedness 4. Response 5. Recovery
UHS has developed its emergency plans in consultation with staff, residents, resident/ family councils, and our community partners and have been updated within the framework of the legislation, regulation and standards set out by the provincial government in the FLTCA 2021.
