What New York State Department of Health can ask for, each cited. Checked July 2026.

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

New York requires the disaster preparedness plan to include a reserve supply of food, water and medication; access to a generator or generators sufficient to supply electrical power to the facility; and an evacuation plan for residents that identifies an alternative site suitable for temporary use. The alternative site is named in statute — a plan that says 'we will relocate as directed' does not satisfy it.

The evidence, and where it comes from

Every item above needs something you can hand over. The New York 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.

Everything else we’ve researched about New York

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

A self-assessment against published rules, not a compliance determination. CompliMaint issues nothing — New York State Department of Health and your authority having jurisdiction do. Requirements we could not verify are absent rather than guessed at.
