Are you considered essential personnel? Depending on the disaster and its severity, you may encounter the following:  Be deployed to a different area of the healthcare facility.  Work at a Mobile Surgical unit.  Work with federal and volunteer agencies.  You may have to work longer shifts or a shift different from your own. For this assignment you will work in groups of 3. There are 9 (9) items that need to be addressed on this worksheet. You may divide them up as you see fit. The team will work on this together to produce one document. Each member of the team who contributed will upload the same document. Please add all contributors’ names to the worksheet. You cannot complete this assignment by yourself. Failure to engage with your group will earn you a zero (0) for this assignment. There is a group contract associated with this assignment. It lists things like division of labor, how to communicate with each other, and deadlines. Please fill this out and submit it by the due date as it is part of your grade. If a member of your team is not responding to any communication, send a message to the student and copy your instructor. The team will still have to complete all 9 items, but the other teammate will earn a zero (0). Item Response Where are the fire extinguishers located in the Paramount building?
