Mejia Emergency Management Plan DATE: June 24, 2015 CC: Property Manager and CHM Office Staff The Catholic Housing Management Emergency Management Plan has been updated and is in compliance with all the requirements. The Emergency Management Plan has an updated date of 6/1/15. The Emergency Management Plan was distributed to all the staff of CHM and the properties they manage.
2 I. POLICY An active/ongoing disaster evacuation plan is necessary for any organization Property Management Services to resident s in their apartments. In South Florida hurricane preparedness is a high priority; however, other potential disasters severe flooding, riots, nuclear, or bomb threats may also present a need for readiness and swift response. The following Plan, although directed most specifically to preparation for a hurricane which is the most frequent hazardous emergency experienced in South Florida, will be modified as needed in the event another type of disaster should occur. The V.P. of CHM or designee will be responsible for determining the existence/type of disaster and activating the plan, consistent with the directives of local and State Offices of Emergency Management. Catholic Housing Management s Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan fosters collaborative teamwork by management and staff to equally share the accountability and responsibility to protect residents, staff and the Catholic Housing Management offices to the extent possible. Accountability for hurricane preparation is shared by all management staff to participate in the execution of this plan to enhance resident and staff safety and protect the offices and property of Catholic Housing Management. The Emergency Management Plan is designed to manage the consequences of natural disasters and/or other emergency situations within Catholic Housing Management s geographic service area that will disrupt its ability to provide care and treatment for a period of time. The Emergency Management Plan follows criteria set forth by the Agency for Health Care Administration, in satisfaction of basic emergency management plan requirements of section (1), Florida Statutes, 58A-2.005, and 58A-2.026, Florida Administrative Code. Catholic Housing Management leadership, V.P.s and Property Managers, actively participate in the planning and execution of the organization s readiness for community emergencies. This Emergency Management Plan was developed by Catholic Housing Management s V.P. of CHM in conjunction with the organization s senior management team and is annually submitted to the governing board and the appropriate Federal, State and local agencies as required. II. CONTACT INFORMATION Contact information for all Senior Management staff is available from the V.P. of CHM s office and is disseminated prior to the emergency. Consistent with Catholic Page 1 of 17 Revised 6/1/15
3 Housing Management s Chain of Command policy, if the V.P. of CHM has not otherwise named a designee, authority rests with the priority list of individuals noted below: Catholic Housing Management Main Office: North Kendall Drive, Suite 306 Fax: Miami, FL V.P. of CHM Office Juana D. Mejia Broward Properties: X (Cell) Catholic Housing Management Carmen Cepero for Miami Properties: (Cell) Whether the V.P. of CHM or a designee is in the leadership role, all members of the Property Management team works together as a team in their respective areas of expertise and responsibility. III. DEFINITIONS TROPICAL DISTURBANCE: A moving area of thunderstorms in the Tropics that maintains its identity for 24 hours or more; this is a common weather pattern in S. Florida summers. TROPICAL DEPRESSION: An area of low pressure, rotary circulation of clouds and winds at the surface with the highest constant wind speed of 38 miles per hour. TROPICAL STORM: Counter-clockwise circulation of clouds and winds between 39 and 73 miles per hour. The tropical storm is assigned a name. HURRICANE: When a Tropical Storm reaches winds of 74 miles per hour or more, it is classified as a Hurricane. Hurricanes, or tropical cyclones, are counterclockwise rotating wind systems that usually originate between June and November. An average hurricane has a gale-force wind diameter of 200 miles and an eye of miles in diameter. Wind velocities of 100 to 150 miles per hour are found just outside the eye, although in maximum storms (Category 5), wind velocities of over 200 miles per hour are found. Hurricane storm systems move at Page 2 of 17 Revised 6/1/15
4 a forward speed of miles per hour. Hurricanes cause damage through high winds, wave action in exposed coastal areas and flooding from two sources - hurricane tides in coastal areas results from wind-driven rains, and rain accumulation (10-30 inches of rain or more). COMMUNICATION AND WARNING OF SEVERE WEATHER ADVISORY: A method for disseminating hurricane and storm data to the public. Small craft warning advisory is an example. SPECIAL ADVISORY: Warning given any time there is a significant change in weather conditions or a change in warning status. INTERMEDIATE ADVISORY: A method of updating regular advisory information every 2 to 3 hours as necessary. STORM WARNING: Wind velocities 55 to 74 miles per hour are expected. If a hurricane is expected to strike a coastal area, storm warnings will not usually precede hurricane warnings. HURRICANE WATCH: A hurricane may threaten a coastal area within 36 hours. Preparedness measures should be in progress; issued by the National Hurricane Center in Miami, when there is a threat of hurricane conditions to a coastal area within 24 to 36 hours. HURRICANE WARNING: A hurricane is expected to strike a specific coastal area within 24 hours or less. Additional/final precautionary actions should be taken immediately; issued for a coastal area when hurricane conditions are expected in 24 hours or less. Hurricane conditions include sustained winds of 74 miles per hour (64 knots) and/or dangerously high tides and waves. TORNADO WATCH: Tornadoes and severe thunderstorms are possible in advisory area. STORM SURGE: Strong winds associated with hurricanes create a dome of water often 50 miles across where the eye of the hurricane makes landfall. The tidal height depends on the strength of the storm, the direction from landfall and whether it is normal, high or low tide. The storm surge is the most dangerous part of a hurricane. Storm surges of up to 25 feet above mean sea level have been recorded. The hammering waves of a storm surge are the cause of 9 out of 10 hurricane fatalities. Page 3 of 17 Revised 6/1/15

All staff is expected to maintain awareness of tropical storm activity via television, radio, and internet during hurricane season (June 1 to November 30). 3. Staff is encouraged to make personal/family hurricane emergency plans in advance so that appropriate work time and attention may be devoted to preparing residents and CHM offices within the time frames provided by this plan. Staff members are reminded to include time before the emergency to prepare their families evacuation plans, to prepare their homes, to have available supplies, cash and gasoline to safely weather the emergency. When possible and with the CHM V.P./designee s approval, staff may be given time (late start or early departure) to assist in final personal preparations for an impending emergency, but only if resident services are not compromised. 4. At least annually and always subsequent to any implementation of this Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan, the Plan is to be reviewed and revised as needed to continuously improve performance. Annually the Plan is submitted to the governing board for its approval and submitted to appropriate Federal, State and local regulatory organizations as required. 5.

This information is kept in a list by the Social Service Coordinators and in the resident s file, the Page 4 of 17 Revised 6/1/15
6 front desk, and in other emergency locations for ready reference in the event of an emergency. Social Service Coordinators will inform the residents regarding the Special Needs Registry and Shelters available in the community.
