Goes in the planIs the section written, and does it say what the rule requires?

Staffing sufficiency is the administrator's named duty

Kansas puts the obligation on the administrator personally: ensuring there is SUFFICIENT STAFF to care for and assist residents in the event of an emergency or disaster. The written emergency plan must also cover the specific emergencies and disasters the regulation names. Most states require a plan; Kansas requires someone to own whether enough people will be there.

The evidence, and where it comes from

Every item above needs something you can hand over. The Kansas fire drill log produces the drill record at the frequency this state sets, the emergency plan builder writes the plan itself from the same research, and the compliance calendar puts the life-safety tests on dates. Anything you record against the building shows up on the checklist already ticked.
