Listen to the radio? Who will notify me or should I call my
supervisor?

notification system. LMHS has an arrangement with the

Will I have time to contact my family
and take care of personal business before reporting in?
You should have ample time if you make a commitment to
plan ahead now, keep yourself informed, and stay "weather
wise." Make your personal evacuation/survival plan for your
family a priority. Be sure you know how long it will take
you to get fully prepared and make allowances for heavy
traffic, bad weather and a panicky general public. Plan
ahead today because the hurricane season is already here.

May I bring my family to the hospital?
Who does that include?
Yes, but have them be prepared to help out. Seek other
shelter options first. "Family" includes wife, husband,
children and other dependents living in your household that
have no other sheltering option.

What about small children?
The child development center facilities will close when
a hurricane warning is issued and reopen as soon as possible
at each location. Child care is provided only for essential
personnel working during the storm. If you are working and
your spouse comes with your children, he/she is responsible
for them. They all are to remain in their assigned areas.
Meals in the cafeteria will be available but are limited, so
you may want to bring additional food and snacks to suit
your children. You must supply everything else for your
children, including diapers, medicine, formula, blankets,
pillows and toys.

-
May I bring my pet to the hospital?
Yes. In response to the needs of LMHS employees,
administration and the Staff Activities Committee set up pet
shelters during hurricanes if you are on Team A and there is
no one to care for your pet. There is a Temporary Pet
Shelter Agreement which must be filled out in advance.

How long will I be expected to stay at
the hospital?
Team A is required to remain on duty until replaced by
someone from Team B. Team B is required to report to work as
soon as Lee County Emergency Management issues the "All
Clear" for local roads. However, depending on the severity
of the storm, Team B members may be unable to reach the
hospital. Therefore, Team A members should be fully prepared
for at least 3 to 5 days as a worst-case scenario. See the
check list for suggested items to bring with you.

-
When can I go home to take care of my
property?
Team A members can leave as soon as your replacement
arrives, with permission from your supervisor, and when Lee
County Emergency Management allows re-entry to your
neighborhood.
