Does Jericho Road Ministries have regular emergency drills, i.e., fire, terrorist, hurricane?

           Regular emergency drills or practices do not occur here at the Mission. We do however have several items that will help facilitate safety throughout the Mission.
            First, we have an emergency plan for severe weather for all our shelter buildings. This is found in the Shelter Policy Manuals. This policy was enacted several years ago. The purpose is to maintain the safety of our clinets during a severe weather event. Local emergency shelters designed for such events will be utilized according to the policies in place.
            Next, we have the Jericho Road Emergency Plan that covers natural disasters, fires, floods, etc. This plan is quite comprehensive and was completed in conjunction with the Mid-Florida Homeless Coalition. This plan is available to all staff directors, managers and coordinators for use and periodic review.
          Each building is all provided an emergency evacuation diagram for people to utilize in the event of an emergency. The Human Resource Department has a complete set of these documents for review and future training for staff and volunteers.
