Emergency Handbook for Food Service Managers
The Twin Cities Metro Advanced Practice Center has made unique contributions to the nation’s preparedness by developing training material for Environmental Health Professionals that address environmental health emergency preparedness, including development of a number of tools and resources for preparedness that can be used by public health departments nationwide. As part of this effort, the Twin Cities Metro APC recently released its Emergency Handbook for Food Service Managers.
The Emergency Handbook is a kit that contains the following:
1. Emergency Handbook for Food Managers – a quick-reference handbook that provides step-by-step emergency information on natural, accidental and deliberate emergencies and a self-inspection checklist for food security, with tips for managing longer-term emergencies.
2. Emergency Readiness for Food Workers – the photo lessons with the companion Discussion Guide for Food Managers mirror the topics in the handbook but are geared for staff training. The photo lessons are also intended as a guide for workers in an actual emergency.
