returning to the placement they had before the emergency temporary move
occurred unless otherwise recommended by the case monitor.
(b) For the purposes of this rule, an
emergency is defined as circumstances that could not be reasonably foreseen
that create a substantial risk to the health and safety of the patient,
including, but not limited to, a natural disaster, fire, or the unexpected
closure of the patient's residence.
