- How do I know if I am expected to come
to work?
Please speak with your supervisor to see if you have
been placed on Team "A" or Team "B" and the schedule to
report in.
Back to top
- What does Team "A" and Team "B" mean
and which team am I on?
It indicates at what point you are to report to work.
Ask your supervisor which team you are on.
Back to top
- Will I have time to contact my family
and take care of personal business before reporting in?
You should have ample time if you make a commitment to
plan ahead now, keep yourself informed, and stay "weather
wise." Make your personal evacuation/survival plan for your
family a priority. Be sure you know how long it will take
you to get fully prepared and make allowances for heavy
traffic, bad weather and a panicky general public. Plan
ahead today because the hurricane season is already here.
Back to top
- May I bring my family to the hospital?
Who does that include?
Yes, but have them be prepared to help out. Seek other
shelter options first. "Family" includes wife, husband,
children and other dependents living in your household that
have no other sheltering option.
Back to top
- Where will family be housed?
Get dependents registered at admitting immediately upon
arrival. Space will be very limited. They may need to share
a room or office with other people. At times, there is no
space other than a space on the floor in a corridor.
Back to top
- What limits are placed upon family
members?
They must stay in their assigned area. No smoking.
Appropriate quiet behavior for a public setting is expected.
They must remain calm and be flexible.
Back to top
- What about small children?
The child development center facilities will close when
a hurricane warning is issued and reopen as soon as possible
at each location. Child care is provided only for essential
personnel working during the storm. If you are working and
your spouse comes with your children, he/she is responsible
for them. They all are to remain in their assigned areas.
Meals in the cafeteria will be available but are limited, so
you may want to bring additional food and snacks to suit
your children. You must supply everything else for your
children, including diapers, medicine, formula, blankets,
pillows and toys.
Back to top
- May I bring my pet to the hospital?
Yes. In response to the needs of Lee Memorial Health System employees,
administration and the Staff Activities Committee set up pet
shelters during hurricanes if you are on Team A and there is
no one to care for your pet. There is a Temporary Pet
Shelter Agreement which must be filled out in advance.
Back to top
- How can I protect my car? Will it be
safe in the parking lot?
Unfortunately, no parking lot offers any safety. Do not
bring boats or campers when you report to work.
Back to top
- Will I need my name badge?
Absolutely YES, and be sure to wear it where it can be
seen.
Back to top
- How long will I be expected to stay at
the hospital?
Team A is required to remain on duty until replaced by
someone from Team B. Team B is required to report to work as
soon as Lee County Emergency Management issues the "All
Clear" for local roads. However, depending on the severity
of the storm, Team B members may be unable to reach the
hospital. Therefore, Team A members should be fully prepared
for at least 3 to 5 days as a worst-case scenario. See the
check list for suggested items to bring with you.
Back to top
- When can I go home to take care of my
property?
Team A members can leave as soon as your replacement
arrives, with permission from your supervisor, and when Lee
County Emergency Management allows re-entry to your
neighborhood.
Back to top
- I am coming to the hospital after the
hurricane to work. Will I need to have a car with the civil
defense sticker on it?
No. Please keep your Lee Memorial Health System employee identification handy
to show law enforcement. Explain that you are needed at Lee Memorial Health System
and are responding per policy.
Back to top
- What if I am supposed to come to work
as "B" team and am unable to get to the hospital because
roads are impassable?
Respond as soon as conditions permit. Keep yourself
informed via local TV, radio broadcasts, or Lee Memorial Health System's facebook and twitter pages. Also, do not
leave your home until the media indicates roads are
passable.
