(2) The emergency preparedness plan must:
(3) The facility must notify SPD, or the local AAA office or designee, of their status in the event of an emergency that requires evacuation and during any emergent situation when requested.
(4) The facility must conduct a drill of the emergency preparedness plan at least twice a year in accordance with the OFC in OAR chapter 837, division 040 and other applicable state and local codes as required. One of the practice drills may consist of a walk-through of the duties or a discussion exercise with a hypothetical event, commonly known as a tabletop exercise. These simulated drills do not take the place of the required fire drills.
(5) The facility must annually review or update the emergency preparedness plan as required by the OFC in OAR chapter 837, division 040 and the emergency preparedness plan must be available on-site for review upon request.
(6) A summary of the facility's emergency preparedness plan must be submitted to SPD annually on July 1, and at a change of ownership, in a format provided by SPD.
