Minnesota staff emergency training

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.

Who was trained

Proving it, not just doing it

Record the start date alongside the training date. The training date alone shows the session happened; the pair shows it happened inside Minnesota’s window, which is the thing actually being asked. The Minnesota fire drill log is the other half of the same request, and both feed the Minnesota readiness sheet.
