New Evacuation and Shelter-in-Place Training Required by December 3

September 23, 2021 | 1 min. to read

Employees and contractors who work in all NM hospitals except the South Region are required to take a new evacuation training by December 3.
​
The training is based on a yearlong effort to create an evacuation and shelter-in-place policy for the system, as well as procedures specific to each hospital. The procedures outline how to evacuate the hospital or shelter in place. They also describe:

• Who has authority to order evacuation
• Decision-making responsibilities
• Notifications
• Communications
• Training and exercises

 
To access the training on NMI:
​
1. At the home page, click on the App launcher (nine dots) on the top-left side of your screen. Under Apps, click All Apps and select Learning & Performance after it appears in your search.

2. Click on Learner Home to see the course.​​​​​​​

3. Under the Assigned/In Progress section, there will be a course titled Facility Relocation, Evacuation and Shelter in Place Training. The training takes approximately 20 minutes to complete. Employees have until December 3 to complete the training.​​​​​​​
​
If you have questions about the training, the new evacuation policy or your hospital evacuation procedure, please contact your local Emergency Management lead or Amy Russer, director of Emergency Management & Business Continuity at Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, at [email protected].
