Include items 1, 2, and 3 — not 4.

- A current list of patients (especially those with special needs or who require life-sustaining equipment) and their locations is essential for triage, evacuation, and continuity of care.
- Instructions for how the office can function without outside help (e.g., communications, supplies, utilities, who does what) are required so the facility can sustain operations during a disruption.
- A clear list of roles and responsibilities for each staff member ensures tasks are covered and chain of command is maintained during an incident.

Detailed step‑by‑step directions for complicated medical procedures generally do not belong in the disaster plan itself; those belong in clinical protocols/training materials and staff competency documentation.
