A plan for anything that could stop the residence operating. West Virginia requires a written disaster and emergency preparedness plan with procedures for any emergency that could severely affect the operation of the residence. The test is operational continuity, not a list of named hazards — if it would stop you running, it belongs in the plan. W. Va. Code St. R. §64-14-9

Every item above needs something you can hand over. The fire drill log produces the drill record — we have not published a West Virginia page, because we have not verified a West Virginia drill frequency, 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.

A self-assessment against published rules, not a compliance determination. CompliMaint issues nothing — West Virginia Office of Health Facility Licensure and Certification (OHFLAC) and your authority having jurisdiction do. Requirements we could not verify are absent rather than guessed at.
