Understanding your role in a crisis is a key element of emergency preparedness. Planning ahead eliminates confusion and saves precious time needed to keep our system running.
All team members must re-register annually for the Employee Disaster Roster (EDR) – electing to be part of the Prep Team, Ride-Out Team and/or Relief Team. Details for each team are listed in the form, and you should work with your leader to agree on the appropriate role for you.
Deadlines
- Friday, March 7 – EDR registration closes.
- Friday, March 21 – Leader validation must be complete.
Details and resources
- If registering for the Ride-Out Team, you are responsible for making appropriate childcare arrangements. Texas Children’s does not offer dependent care.
- For those on the Ride-Out Team, you can use this easy checklist to pack your at-work disaster bag with 5-7 days of essential supplies.
- If you want to receive emergency texts, log in to Voyager, go to Contact Info and add the Home Mobile Phone field. Even if your home phone is your mobile phone, by adding this field, it ensures you are on the list. Please also be mindful the number is correct. Just transposing two digits will prevent you from receiving texts.
- Keeping you informed and prepared is our top priority. Visit the Department of Organizational Resilience SharePoint site for contact information and links to websites to help you create an emergency preparedness plan of your own.
- If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Organizational Resilience Department at OrganizationalResilience@texaschildrens.org.
