Code Black Personal Threat

Ospital Ng Makati uses color codes to identify different types of emergencies and their corresponding alert levels and response requirements. Code Yellow indicates an internal emergency, Code Orange signals an evacuation is needed, and Code Red is called for a fire or smoke. Different codes activate different levels of the hospital's disaster plan, from Level I (alert) to Level IV (stand down), requiring varying levels of manpower and response. After an emergency is contained, an "all clear" for the relevant code is announced and a debriefing session is held for staff.

Levels Of Activation Of The Disaster Plan:


Level of Activation
In an emergency, the Incident Commander shall make an assessment of the emergency and advise the Operator of
one of the recognized stages of activation. Depending on the type of emergency, they will determine if the response
needs to be elevated to a higher level and whether or not to establish a command post. After a full disaster response
is over, the IC shall conduct a debriefing session for all staff who have participated in the disaster response.

Level I ALERT
Emergency notified. Senior management have been notified of a situation that could escalate or which may require
the coordination of resources and support.

Level II STANDBY
There is an increased likelihood that the emergency situations will have a major impact on services.

Level III CALL OUT


Emergency situation exists. On receipt that a major incident / disaster has occurred and there is a requirement for
the Command Group to be notified.

Level IV STAND DOWN


Emergency is contained and operations are no longer required. The hospital shall resume normal activities and
debriefing.

Cancellation of Code
After consultation with appropriate emergency services, members of the Incident Command Group will determine
and decide that a code is to be cancelled. This information will be registered with the Communications Department
who will initiate “All Clear” and advise of subsequent action.

It is important to observe that “All Clear” is given followed by the emergency code corresponding to the emergency
for which it relates. For example, if a fire led to a decision to evacuate, Doctor Red then Code Orange would be given.
If the fire is extinguished prior to completion of evacuation then Doctor Red “All Clear” is given, followed by Doctor
Orange “All Clear”.

Debrief
At the conclusion of the activity a formal debrief and counseling sessions should be available for all staff.
The Incident Commander or Designee will be responsible to coordinate this in conjunction with the HRMS and Social
Service.
