Minnesota resident emergency information

The written emergency disaster plan must contain a plan for evacuation, address the elements of sheltering in place, identify temporary relocation sites, and detail staff assignments. Emergency and disaster training is given to all staff at initial orientation and annually after — and must also be MADE ANNUALLY AVAILABLE TO RESIDENTS, not only to staff.

This one holds personal information.

Mobility and assistance needs are health information about a named person. It stays on this device and is never sent anywhere — but the printed sheet does leave the screen, so treat it the way you treat a care plan.

Recording it, not just doing it

Minnesota states no deadline we have verified, so this sheet does not invent one. It records the orientation, what the resident needs in an evacuation, and who is responsible for them — which is what the rule above asks you to hold. The Minnesota staff training record is the other half of the same request, and both feed the Minnesota readiness sheet.

It stays on your device

Mobility and assistance needs are health information about a named person. Nothing typed here is sent anywhere, and the shared building record keeps only the date an orientation happened — never what the sheet said about the resident.

Same state, the problems either side of this one. Each carries its own statute and the date we last checked it.
