A rehab agency runs fire drills that only use stairwells, with no written plan for clients who cannot evacuate by stairs. What gap should the CRC identify?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
If the only exit is stairs, wheelchair users are left inventing their own escape plan mid-alarm. Inclusive emergency management writes those routes down before the drill. Gaps on paper become dangers on fire day.
Full Explanation
Agency emergency management must include written, practiced procedures for people who cannot use stairs, such as areas of refuge, evacuation devices, and staff roles. Stair-only drills exclude clients with mobility disabilities and create safety liability. Identifying and correcting this gap is part of Domain 4 emergency systems competence.
