Preparation of the Preparedness Plan for Residential Social Service Facilities The development of a preparedness plan for residential social service facilities (hereinafter referred to as the plan) is the first and fundamental step in enhancing the continuous readiness and response capability of an entity to handle emergencies (EEs). The goal is to create conditions for strengthening crisis preparedness and implementing preventive measures for emergencies. Methodological guidance in the plan’s development establishes a unified plan standard, ensuring better clarity and comparability of plans across different residential social service facilities. It enhances the effectiveness of established standards within the organization as well as in the communication and presentation of information. Additionally, it facilitates easier utilization of data in analytical materials and other related documents. Lastly, it contributes to the effective fulfillment of Standard No. 14. The methodological procedure is intended for senior homes, special-regime homes, and homes for persons with disabilities (hereinafter referred to as residential social service facilities – RSSFs). The preparation of the plan is recommended for the most severe identified threats and risks that may endanger the health and lives of clients and the operational capability of RSSFs. If the plan's preparer follows the methodological procedure chronologically, section by section, it will enhance the facility’s safety and crisis preparedness for emergencies and crisis situations. For harmonization purposes, the proposed plan structure adheres to the content standards of crisis plans. The structure is divided into three main parts and subsequently into sections. The sections contain instructional procedures for achieving the defined objectives. Some sections also include commentary explaining the importance of the tasks or providing additional information.
