Emergency Response/Contingency Plan
~ (Hazardous Materials Business Plan Module)
Authority Cited: HSC, Section 25504(b); Title 22, Div. 4.5, Ch. 12, Art. 3 CCR Page 6 of 10
All facilities that handle hazardous materials in specified quantities must have a written emergency response plan. In addition,
facilities that generate 1,000 kilograms or more of hazardous waste per month, or accumulate more than 6,000 kilograms of hazardous
waste on-site at any one time, must prepare a contingency plan. Because the requirements are similar, they have been combined in a
single document, provided below, for your convenience. This plan is a required module of the Hazardous Materials Business Plan
(HMBP). If you already have a plan that meets these requirements, you should not complete the blank plan, below, but you
must include a copy of your existing plan as part of your HMBP.
This site-specific Emergency Response/Contingency Plan is the facility's plan for dealing with emergencies and shall be implemented
immediately whenever there is a fire, explosion, or release of hazardous materials that could threaten human health and/or the
environment. At least one copy of the plan shall be maintained at the facility for use in the event of an emergency and for
inspection by the local agency. Within Santa Clara County, hospitals and police agencies have delegated receipt of these plans to the
local agencies administering Hazardous Materials Business Plans, so additional copies need not be submitted. However, a copy of the
plan and any revisions must be provided to any contractor, hospital, or agency with whom special (i.e. contractual) emergency
services arrangements have been made (see section 3, below).
1. Evacuation Plan:
a. The following alarm signal(s) will be used to begin evacuation of the facility (check all that apply):
^ Bells; ^ Horns/Sirens; ®Verbal (i. e. shouting); ^ Other (specify)
b. ®Evacuation map is prominently displayed throughout the facility.
Note: A properly completed HMBP Site Plan satisfies contingency plan map requirements. This drawing (or any other drawit2g that
shows primar~~ and alternate evacuation routes, emergency exits, and primary and alternate staging areas) must be
prominently posted throughout the facility in locations where it will be visible to employees and visitors.

4. Emergency Procedures:
Emergency Coordinator Responsibilities:
a. Whenever there is an imminent or actual emergency situation such as a explosion, fire, or release, the emergency coordinator (or
his/her designee when the emergency coordinator is on call) shall:
i. Identify the character, exact source, amount, and areal extent of any released hazardous materials.
ii. Assess possible hazards to human health or the environment that may result from the explosion, fire, or release. This
assessment must consider both direct and indirect effects (e.g. the effects of any toxic, irritating, or asphyxiating gases that
are generated, the effects of any hazardous surface water run-off from water o~- chemical agents used to control fire, etc.).
iii. Activate internal facility alarms or communications systems, where applicable, to notify all facility personnel.
iv. Notify appropriate local authorities (i. e. ca11911).
v. Notify the State Office of Emergency Services at 1-500-852-7550.
vi. Monitor for leaks, pressure build-up, gas generation, or ruptures in valves, pipes, or other equipment shut down in response to
the incident.
vii. Take all reasonable measures necessary to ensure that fires, explosions, and releases do not occur, recur, or spread to other
hazardous materials at the facility.
Before facility operations are resumed in areas of the facility affected by the incident, the emergency coordinator shall:
i. Provide for proper storage and disposal of recovered waste, contaminated soil or surface water, or any other material that
results from a explosion, fire, or release at the facility.
ii. Ensure that no material that is incompatible with the released material is transferred, stored, or disposed of in areas of the
facility affected by the incident until cleanup procedures are completed.
iii. Ensure that all emergency equipment is cleaned, fit for its intended use, and available for use.
iv. Notify the California Environmental Protection Agency's Department of Toxic Substances Control, the County of Santa
Clara's Hazardous Materials Compliance Division, and the local fire department's hazardous materials program that the
facility is in compliance with requirements b-i and b-ii, above.
Responsibilities of Other Personnel:
On a separate page, list any emergency response functions not covered in the "Emergency Coordinator Responsibilities" section,
above. Next to each function, list the job title or name of each person responsible for performing the function. Number the page(s)
appropriately.
5. Post-Incident Reporting/Recording:
The time, date, and details of any hazardous materials incident that requires implementation of this plan shall be noted in the facility's
operating record.
Within 15 days of any hazardous materials emergency incident or threatened hazardous materials emergency incident that triggers
implementation of this plan, a written Emergency Incident Report, including, but not limited to a description of the incident and the
facility's response to the incident, must be submitted to the California Environmental Protection Agency's Department of Toxic
Substances Control, the County of Santa Clara's Hazardous Materials Compliance Division, and the local fire department's hazardous
materials program. The report shall include:
a. Name, address, and telephone number of the facility's owner/operator;
b. Name, address, and telephone number of the facility;
c. Date, time, and type of incident (e.g. fire, explosion, etc.);
d. Name and quantity of material(s) involved;
e. The extent of injuries, if any;
£ An assessment of actual or potential hazards to human health or the environment, where this is applicable;
g. Estimated quantity and disposition of recovered material that resulted from the incident;
h. Cause(es) of the incident;
i. Actions taken in response to the incident;
j. Administrative or engineering controls designed to prevent such incidents in the future.

TRAINING
The purpose of training is to ensure the employees, outside
contractors, and other affected individuals are adequately educated
about potential chemical risks and how to respond to such hazards. It
is important that all questions are answered - we don't want to
minimize a hazard, however, we also don't want to exaggerate risks.
Although employee training has always been a part of most programs,
it is not necessary to establish very formal, documented programs. It is
recommended that we continue the on-the-job explanation of specific
health and safety hazards with any particular job (especially those
tasks done very infrequently or for the first time), but supplement this
with generic chemical safety training. Since explaining the health and
safety risks is part of a job indoctrination, we need to be sure that this
is always done. Any training program given to employees must be
formally documented. Each employee should signify his/ her
attendance by signing in on the Chemical Safety Training Log. These
forms should be filed permanently in this manual in the Employee
Training section.
TRAINING MUST CONSIST OF:
• Information on the requirements of OSHA Hazard
Communication standard and applicable state/ local
chemical safety laws and regulations;
• Information on operating procedures in their work
area where hazardous chemicals are present;
• Information on where the Material Safety Data Sheets
(MSDS), the written program (this. Manual); and the
list of hazardous chemicals are kept;
• Review and explanation of the appropriate Material
Safety Data Sheet (MSDS);
• Methods employees can use to protect themselves,
such as: work practices and the use of personal
protective equipment;
• How to read and interpret information on labels;
• How employees can obtain and use the available
hazard information;
• Information on the established procedures in the safe
handling, storage, and disposal of chemicals;
• Information on the hazards of non-routine tasks such
as area and/ or equipment cleaning, maintenance, or
repair as well as hazards associated with chemicals
contained in unlabeled pipes in the work area;
• How to clean up and respond to medical concerns as a
result of exposure to a chemical spill.
CONTRACTED SERVICES
(Preventative Maintenance, Hood Cleaner, Refrigeration, etc.)
As part of OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard, contractors must be
informed of any chemical hazards their employees may be exposed to
during the time they work in your restaurant. Although the contractor is
responsible for training his personnel, contractors and all other outside
vendors must follow our safety rules. Contractors' employees should also
be confined to their specific job area.
All contractors should be informed of hazardous materials in the areas in
which their employees will be working. The restaurant's Chemical Safety
Program should also be explained and any related questions answered.
Additionally, contractors must be in compliance with federal OSHA and
state/ local laws and regulations regarding chemical safety and must
supply us with Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for any hazardous
chemicals they bring into the workplace.
EMPLOYEE MEE~'ING O I,~TLINE
SUBJECT: CHEMICAL SAFETY PROGRAM
PARTICIPANTS: ALL RESTAURANT EMPLOYEES
(Only 1 work area in attendance per meeting.)
PREPARATION:
1. Obtain a container of each hazardous chemical used by the work.
2. Have a copy of the MSDS for each chemical in that work area.
3. Have the meeting attendance sheet from the Chemical Safety
Program Manual; each employee needs to verify his or her
attendance.
MEETING:
1. Begin the meeting by mentioning the word "chemicals". Ask the
employees for examples of different chemicals that are found at
home (hair spray, fertilizers, fly spray, etc.) and at work (dish
machine detergents, bleach, window cleaner, etc.).
2. Remind them that some chemicals are not hazardous, however
many have some degree of hazard.
3. Ask them two questions:
• "How do you know the difference?"
• "How can you protect yourself?"
4. To help you answer these questions, the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA) .has issued a standard called
"Hazard Communication -Your Right to Know". Explain that this
standard is intended to ensure chemical manufacturers evaluate
their products for safety and this information is passed on to all
users. Since you use many chemicals in the restaurant, it is
important to know which products are hazardous and proper
procedures to handle and use these products.
5. Always remember your safety is very important to many people:
a. To OSHA
b. To the Chemical Suppliers
c. To your employer
R
d. To you
6. Labels are important, they tell (show the Label from one of your
demonstration chemicals you have in the room):
a. Product name
b. Product's intended use
c. Using directions
d. Any special instructions i.e., Keep out of reach of
children
e. Signal words i.e.: Danger, Warning, Caution
f. Hazardous ingredients that may be in the product
g. Precautionary measures i.e. physical/health
hazards, protective gear and first aid instructions
h. Safe handling and storage instructions
i. Name and address of the manufacturer
7. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS's)
(Pass around some sample MSDS sheets for viewing)
The Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) provides us with
information for using a chemical safely. It identifies the
substance(s) of concern in the chemical and potential hazards. The
sheets describe precautions for use, handling, storage and also,
gives procedures for emergency situations.
Each MSDS will be divided into sections, each section will tell
different information about the product. For example, typical
sections on an MSDS will tell the following:
• Identify the product
• Hazardous chemicals in the product
• Physical and chemical characteristics of product
(appearance and odor)
• Physical hazards of the product
• Health hazards .(first aid procedures)
• Special precautions (how to store, what to do in case
of leaks, how to dispose of product)
8. We have obtained information regarding the hazardous chemicals
in the restaurant. This information includes:
• MSDS Sheets on every chemical
• A guide on how to read an MSDS sheet
C
• A guide on how to read a product label
• A list of the hazardous chemicals in each work area
This information is on file in the Manager's office. Additionally,
this information is available on wall charts that will be posted so
you may refer to it easily.
We also have an inventory of chemical products in the restaurant.
(Tell employees where they are stored.)
We will be giving new employees this training and everyone will
receive information regarding any new hazardous chemicals in the
restaurant.
9. So far we have talked about the government's (OSHA's) role, the
chemical supplier's role, and our role in chemical safety. The last
and most important person in the chain is you. We need you to
help protect yourself. Do this by:
• Using the proper chemical for the job
• Following correct procedures
• Reading labels
• Knowing where to find information about the
chemicals
• Knowing how to handle and use the chemicals you
work with
• Wearing and taking care of protective gear
• Following warnings and instructions
• Learning emergency procedures
• Becoming familiar with how the products look and
smell
• Asking the manager on duty when in doubt
10. REMEMBER TO TREAT ALL. CHEMICALS WITH RESPECT
AND NEVER MIX CHEMICAL PRODUCTS TOGETHER.
11. Ask if there are any questions. Answer any.
12. Have employees sign attendance sheets. Place signed attendance
sheets in your Chemical Safety Program Manual.

Disaster and Emergency Preparedness Manual
~ How to use this Manual
We have created this guide to provide you with a summary of what to do before, during
and after a disaster or emergency. This advice will help you plan and survive a disaster
or emergency and prevent or at least minimize injuries, property damage and overall
disruption of business. Familiarity with what to do during a disaster or emergency is not
only comforting, but will give you confidence in addressing the situation.
Remember there is no better time than now to check your supplies and make sure
that you are prepared for any disaster or emergency that may come your way.
Unlike natural disasters, there are disasters caused by accidents such as the accidental
release of poisonous chemicals into the area or radiation leaks. Because these
disasters vary depending upon the agent involved and generally require specialized
technical evaluation, they will not be discussed in this manual. If one of these occurs,
immediately contact the Total Quality Department at the Restaurant Support
Center.
In any disaster you should contact your Director of Operations first. They will
provide advice on closing and scheduling. When you get directions to close, evacuate
the restaurant and close it. Immediately begin to make the necessary preparations.
Review this manual annually as part of your safety committee meeting as well as in your
regular scheduled manager meetings.
Each year Operations will schedule a month on their Operations calendar to remind all
General Managers to review this manual with all managers ensuring they know how to
shut off water supply, gas valves, etc. as outlined. This is a good time to review the
evacuation plan with their employees ensuring this evacuation plan(s) is posted in a
clear location.
This is also a good time to complete your Emergency Numbers listed on page 8.

Disaster and Emergency Preparedness Manual
~ Being Prepared
Being prepared is your first responsibility during a disaster or emergency.
Preparation and good planning are essential to handling any disaster and emergency
effectively with minimal impact to your guests, team, and restaurant. Knowing what to
anticipate and the proper alternatives to pursue will give you a comforting command of
the situation.
It is essential that you make sure you have the following items on hand in case of a
disaster or emergency:
Emergency Response (ER) Kit also known as Y2K
Be sure it contains.....
^ Manual credit card imprinter that is not part of the kit
^ 3 Packs of Manual Guest Checks
^ 3 Packs of AMEX Credit Card Slips
^ 5 Quick Reference Guides for Emergencies
^ 2 Darden Emergency Response Guides
First Aid Kit
^ Using your First Aid sticker to ensure your Kit contains all items listed.
Flashlights
^ Your restaurant should have two or three D cell battery flashlights.
^ Use alkaline batteries in the flashlights because they last longer.
^ Check the flashlight quarterly for brightness.
^ Change batteries every six months regardless of previous use or brightness.
Battery-powered Radio
^ During a disaster or power outage, it is important to stay informed of current
situations, so stay tuned to your local radio stations.
^ Use alkaline batteries in your radio, check them regularly and replace them every
six months.
^ Do not play the radio in guest areas.
^ Monitor local weather reports on the radio in the kitchen -the line or production
areas are the best places.
^ Make kitchen employees responsible for keeping you informed of any updates.
Pen and Paper (use your checklist found on first page of each section)
^ Keep checklist or pen and paper handy as you will need to keep track of
telephone numbers, product temperatures, contact names, times, destroyed
product, etc.
Evacuation Plan
^ Need to review the evacuation plan with your staff -Evacuate the building in
a safe and orderly fashion
Restaurant version Page 4 of 58
C:\Documents and Settings\GGSDADI\My Documents\Disaster and Emergency Manual.doc
Disaster and Emergency Preparedness Manual
• Note: The prediction or forecast of a disaster may prove to be inaccurate. However, the
cost incurred for taking action will be minimal in relation to possible losses if the forecast
was accurate and no action was taken.
"Closed" Sign Posting
^ Post a "closed" sign on the front door if you suspend operations. This will minimize
the chance for liability claims by keeping guests out. (see CLOSED sign provided in
the front section of this manual}
^ Wherever possible or necessary, post an employee at the door to give information
and offer directions to the closest Darden restaurant, if applicable.
Garbage Removal
During periods when you are closed for business due to disaster, please remember the
following:
^ Remove all garbage from the building as soon as possible. This will minimize the
chance of off odors and vermin infestation.
Equipment and Utensils
Prior to resuming operation after any disaster:
^ Wash and sanitize all food contact surfaces and utensils to prevent contaminating
the food supply (a sanitizing solution can be made by mixing one capful of chlorine
bleach to every gallon of water)
Reporting Damage to Building or Site
After the disaster or emergency is over, return to the restaurant as soon as it is safe to
do so to assess any damages and to make emergency repairs. If the building structure
or equipment is damaged, contact your Director first, then. the Facilities Department at
the Restaurant Support Center (407-245-4200) as soon as possible.

HURRICANES -BEFORE THE STORM
HURRICANES -STOP, LOOK AND LISTEN!
Hurricane Season is from June 1st through November 30tH'
Hurricane watch: means possible danger within 24 hours. If the danger materializes, a
hurricane warning will be issued. Meanwhile, keep alert and ignore rumors. Continue
normal activities but stay tuned to radio or television for all weather bureau advisories.
Hurricane warning: means that a hurricane is expected to strike an area within 24
hours. Plan your time carefully to avoid last-minute preparation which may leave you
unprotected or unprepared.
Preparing for a Hurricane
In preparing for a hurricane, you should take the same steps as you would for a severe
storm. Hurricane paths are often unpredictable but it is always better to assume that
your restaurant is in the path of a hurricane and initiate preparation.
^ Start preparation when the possibility of a hurricane becomes apparent.
• ^ Do not leave all preparation for hurricane until 24 hours before the hurricane is due
to pass your area.
^ Although a true determination of a hurricane's path cannot be predicted very far in
advance (usually 24 hours for a more definite prediction), your area will almost
certainly experience some severe weather, at least heavy rain even if the eye of the
hurricane bypasses your area.
^ Contact your Director of Operations to advise him/her of the situation and your
course of action
^ Continue to keep them updated as the path of the hurricane becomes more
predictable
Before Leaving the Restaurant
If a disaster or emergency should occur that significantly affects the restaurant, such as
high winds, water, etc., you should initiate the following actions immediately as listed in
Before the Storm section found on next page.
•

Disaster and Emergency Preparedness Manual
HURRICANES -BEFORE THE STORM
Preparing for High Winds
If high winds are predicted, please remember the following:
You may wish to board up windows to avoid breakage -your Facility Manager will
assist you with making this decision. Keep the following in mind:
^ Small windows are generally broken by wind-driven debris
^ Large windows may be broken by wind pressure
^ Draw curtains, shades or blinds to protect from breaking glass
Preparing for Hurricane or Tropical Storms
In addition, take the following measures to secure the building during a hurricane or
tropical storm:
^ Secure any outdoor objects that might be blown away or uprooted. Anchor any
objects that are outside or bring them inside building. Ensure that roof top unit
panels are secure and dumpster gates are locked down.
^ Put all prepared foods in the walk-ins; put ice cream in freezer
^ Cancel all food deliveries
^ Bag up ice and place in freezer for use when reopening or if you have power failure.
^ Take your employee roster home (including management) for telephone numbers;
divide this task among your managers to call everyone and advise them of working
conditions and needs.
^ Call the Local Health Agency for local health exceptions to reopening
^ Unplug your P.O.S. and B.O.S.
^ Turn off the gas supply -
^ You may also need to shut off electrical power at main breaker if there is a danger of
flooding inside the restaurant
^ Test the flashlights and portable radio for working status

After the Hurricane
When you are ready to reopen the restaurant, please follow security guidelines before
entering the restaurant and perform the following:
^ Survey the damages and advise upper management of equipment, roof, and
weather status
^ Telephone those employees needed to operate the restaurant
^ If you can, check with your director and if approved, advise a local television or radio
station you are open to assist the community
^ If the cooler and freezer temperatures are approaching the danger zone (40°)
contact your Total Quality Manager immediately to discuss possible options and
recommendations for discarding product.
^ Discard the day's first production of ice after reopening
^ Advise your Director of Operations, Total Quality Department and Facilities
Department of the open or close status and restaurant building condition
^ Anticipate a call or visit from the local health agency
^ Contact your Director of Operations and Facilities Department as soon as possible
to advise them of any damage and of the local situation
^ Make whatever temporary repairs are necessary to protect your restaurant from
further damage by wind and rain (i.e. board up windows or cover them with canvas;
cover the holes in the roof or siding with temporary materials)
Check for damages on the following at your restaurant::
^ The roof
^ Roof-mounted equipment
^ All related utilities (water, gas and electricity)
For assistance, contact your utility company or HVAC vendor.
Refer to the following sections for more details:
^ Power Failure
^ Water Supply
^ Boil Water Order
^ Sewage and Drain Backup

Disaster and Emergency Preparedness Manual
BEFORE THE TORNADO AND SEVERE STORMS
Tornado watch: when conditions are ideal for a tornado to develop or for a chance of
dangerous weather with damaging winds
Tornado warning: a tornado has been sighted nearby.
Danger signs:
^ severe thunderstorms
^ hail
^ roaring noise
^ funnel cloud
Tornadoes have 2 seasons:
~ May through August -when most tornadoes occur
December through April -when the most devastating tornadoes occur
Tornado Facts:
^ Tornadoes are more unpredictable than hurricanes because we don't have ample
warning to take action before they hit
• ^ A tornado watch can cover an area of 140 miles wide by 200 miles long and even
then, severe weather can occur outside the watch area
^ Pinpointing tornadoes, which is desired by everyone, is not possible.
^ During a tornado watch, keep abattery-operated radio nearby and listen for
weather advisories
If a Tornado Hits
^ Check to make sure you have switched off electric power and/or gas supply without
putting yourself in danger.

Disaster and Emergency Preparedness Manual
:• DURING A TORNADO OR SEVERE STORM
If the restaurant is occupied when a tornado is approaching:
^ All occupants should seek protection along the inside walls of the building (server
alley, galley/dining room wall) or freezers.
^ Tornadoes create a rapid change in atmospheric pressure. To accommodate this, try
to let exterior doors open, ideally on the side of the building opposite the tornado's
approach.
^ Notify the police or sheriff's department and the fire department, if possible.
^ Do not physically move anyone who may be injured or in shock until examined by a
paramedic or technician from the rescue squad, nurse, or others from the medical
profession.
^ Assign a staff member to keep record of identification of persons moved from the
building (due to injuries) and their destinations.
^ Uninjured persons should be gathered together in a safe area of the building to await
transportation to another designated area or to their homes.
Refer to the following sections:
^ Power Failure
^ Water Supply
^ Boil Water Order
^ Sewage and Drain Backup

Disaster and Emergency Preparedness Manual
~ EARTHQUAKES
Here are some important tips to remember during and after an earthquake:
During the earthquake:
^ Do not evacuate the building during an earthquake
^ Be aware of "where you are". Earthquakes come on fast and sometimes hard.
The tendency when a quake hits is to freeze. With an average duration of less than
20 seconds, the awareness of where, or what you area in the proximity of i.e.,
windows, items that could fall on you (buildings, tower signs, etc) needs to be
instinctive/second nature, to get out of harms way.
^ Seek shelter -the safest places would be in the walk-in's, door frames, under table
tops and away from windows
After the earthquake:
^ Get out of the building -find an open space
^ Know where the gas, electrical and water shut-offs are in the event that you need to
operate them (only if it is safe to do so)
^ Contact local officials and applicable RSC personnel (SVP, DO, FM, another
restaurant, etc) to let them know that you and your crew are safe
Emergency Lighting
^ Your emergency lighting system normally lasts for 1 to 2 hours
^ A flashlight or portable battery-operated lighting unit should be in place for periods
after the emergency system is extinguished
^ Do not use candles during a power outage. You may have a gas leak due to broken
lines which will cause an explosion.
^ Power down, turn off and unplug the P.O.S. and B.O.S. systems
^ Turn off power and gas supply if you can safely do so. See Power Outage for
instructions.

C:\Documents and Settings\GGSDADI\My Documents\Disaster and Emergency Manual.doc
Disaster and Emergency Preparedness Manual
After the Earthquake
When it is safe to return to and you are ready to reopen the restaurant, please follow
security guidelines before entering the restaurant and perform the following:
^ Survey the restaurant and advise upper management of equipment and building
damage
^ Telephone those employees needed to operate the restaurant
^ If you can, check with your director and if approved, advise a local television or radio
station you are open to assist the community
^ If the cooler and freezer temperatures are approaching the danger zone (40°)
contact your Total Quality Manager immediately to discuss possible options and
recommendations for discarding product.
^ Discard the day's first production of ice after reopening
^ Advise your Director of Operations, Total Quality Department and Facilities
Department of the open or close status and restaurant building condition
• ^ Anticipate a call or visit from the local health agency
^ Contact your Director of Operations and Facilities Department as soon as possible
to advise them of any damage and of the local situation
^ Make whatever temporary repairs are necessary to protect your restaurant from
further damage by earthquake (i.e. board up windows or cover them with canvas;
cover the holes in the roof or siding with temporary materials)
Check for damages on the following at your restaurant::
^ The roof
^ Roof-mounted equipment
^ All related utilities (water, gas and electricity)
For assistance, contact your utility company and local vendors for electrical or plumbing
repairs.
Refer to the following sections:
^ Power Failure
^ Water Supply
^ Boil Water Order
^ Sewage and Drain Backup

Disaster and Emergency Preparedness Manual
• BOMB THREATS
Bombs are the most destructive weapons used by people with a grievance against an
organization. Most bomb threats against restaurants or retail operations are not real.
When the bomb threat is real, the caller is concerned about the safety and well-being
of the people inside. In a true warning call, the caller will describe the bomb,
identify the type of mechanism and exactly what time the bomb is to go off. The
bomber usually wants to make a point and not injure innocent people, however all bomb
threats must be taken seriously. Managers should use all available information to
evaluate the threat and make a sound decision.
Guidelines
^ When a call is received, the person taking the call should remain calm and
follow the guidelines for filling out the Bomb Threat form-include in package.
^ Stay on line as long as possible by asking the caller to repeat the message
^ Request that the caller give you the location of the bomb and the time it is supposed
to detonate (these are the most vital pieces of information)
^ Listen carefully to the caller's voice and note any special characteristics (accent,
dialect, speech patterns)
^ Note the conversation and whether the caller seems calm, tense, nervous, drunk,
etc.
^ Note any background noise or sounds that identify the location of the call (phone
booth, traffic, machinery, trains, aircraft, etc.)
^ Record the exact time the caller begins the conversation and terminates the call
^ Notify the local police, Director of Operations and the Corporate Director of Security
^ The decision to evacuate is the most important consideration and is a matter of
judgment. It is dependent on the circumstances of the threat, and the decision must
be made by the most senior member of the management team at the restaurant.
^ If the police give you the direction on evacuation, follow their advice
Restaurant version Page 36 of 58
C:\Documents and Settings\GGSDADI\My Documents\Disaster and Emergency Manual.doc
Disaster and Emergency Preparedness Manual
~ BOMB THREATS (cont'd)
^ Evacuation has some risks to employees and guests because fear and panic may
occur. Be careful not to panic guests during an evacuation by using words like
"bomb" or "explosive"
^ The decision to evacuate must be made when a device has been found or when
there is strong enough evidence that the threat of explosion is real
^ If a device is located, evacuate immediately, and DO NOT TOUCH OR
APPROACH THE DEVICE

voltage will be less than normal. When this occurs, please do the following:
^ Turn all disconnects to the OFF position (this will eliminate damage to electrical
equipment due to low voltage)
^ Have an electrician test the voltage prior to operating the equipment to insure the
voltage is sufficient for safe operations.
Please refer to the "Power Outage" flow chart for easy reference.
Gas Supply
If an impending disaster could seriously damage the restaurant:
^ Shut off the gas supply to all equipment following these procedures -
To turn off gas supply at main valve, rotate clockwise until the valve head is 90
degrees to the pipe. A 10 to 12" wrench should provide enough leverage
^ Check gas equipment pilot lights before and after the gas company restores
service
^ Remember, if the gas supply is interrupted you must re-light the pilots (do not forget
the pilot lights on roof-mounted equipment).
Emergency Lighting
^ Your emergency lighting system normally lasts for 1 to 2 hours
^ A flashlight or portable battery-operated lighting unit should be in place for periods
after the emergency system is extinguished
^ Do not use candles during a power outage. You may have a gas leak due to broken
lines which will cause an explosion.

Disaster and Emergency Preparedness Manual
• Frozen Foods
If the power loss will be more than 24 hours:
^ Try to get an outside frozen storage facility/freezer truck to the restaurant to store
the frozen food (local dairies, Marriott (MBM) or local Ryder truck rental services are
all possibilities - it should be noted, however, that during emergency situations this
equipment is hard to get and you should address your needs prior to actual
emergency conditions whenever possible)
^ Monitor food temperatures and initiate steps to insure frozen foods do not reach
levels higher than 20°F
^ Temporarily, frozen food can be kept solid by using dry ice that can be purchased
locally from ice cream manufacturers, NuCo distributors, etc (check the Yellow
Pages for its availability -atypical freezer requires 200 Ibs of dry ice)
^ Using gloves, place the dry ice as high as possible in the freezer on the shelves
^ Do not place dry ice directly on the food
^ Close the freezer door
^ When reopening the freezer door, let the door stand open for 15 to 20 minutes
before entering.
• Warning: Dry ice evaporates into carbon dioxide and will cause unconsciousness
if anyone enters prematurely. After using dry ice, never enter a freezer without
telling someone where you are.
Refrigerated Foods
^ Food products requiring holding temperatures of 34 to 40°F should be monitored
and documented
^ Consolidate all foods from all refrigerated reach-in units to the walk-in refrigerator
units
^ As the food products move into the danger zone, above 40°F, try to keep them cold
using ice or portable refrigeration containers such as trucks designed for this
temperature range -contact your local dairy, produce, or Ryder truck rental and if
unavailable, contact other trucking companies with refrigerated trucks.
^ If neither of these items is accessible and if the temperature exceeds 40°F, contact
your Total Quality Manager immediately to discuss other options and
recommendations whether the product should be discarded.

Disaster and Emergency Preparedness Manual
Refrigerated Foods continued
To aid in maintaining temperatures for the longest possible time, please do the
following:
^ Keep doors closed on refrigerators
^ Accurate external thermometers will help with monitoring temperatures without
having to open the refrigerator door
Dry ingredients will not be affected by a loss of power or water. However, if flooding
should occur, all dry goods, ingredients, napkins, etc., should be stored as far from floor
level as possible.
In case of a flood the following would apply:
Canned Goods
^ Inspect closely and discard all bulging, leaking or dented cans even if you cannot
find a leak, bacteria can get into a hole too small for liquids to leak out.
^ Before using any product in solid, sealed cans, write the contents on the tid with a
waterproof marker, remove all paper labeling, then wash the can thoroughly in hot
• soapy water, rinse and submerge them in a sanitizing solution for five minutes.
^ Discard all food items that are not in solid, sealed cans, such as items with caps on
them (for example, soft drinks, ketchup, beer, mustard, etc.), or dry goods such as
breading, rice, etc. Discard all individual carryout packets of ketchup, mustard,
mayonnaise, etc. In the event that any soft drink tanks and beer kegs were
submerged, return them to the appropriate suppliers.
Single Use Items
^ If any single use items like to-go containers, sav-a-days, and other paper or
styrofoam items are exposed to flood water and debris, inventory then destroy them
(there is no way to wash and sanitize these products) .

Disaster and Emergency Preparedness Manual
• Refrigerated and Frozen Foods
^ If the refrigerator or freezer was covered with floodwater, the food within them has
probably been damaged by seepage, so discard it
^ If the electricity has been cut off and no flood water has entered the freezer, keep
the door closed to retain the cold, and then consult with your Total Quality
Manager on the status of your food. You can also use the following guidelines:
^ Partially thawed meat can be re-frozen without much loss in quality. Completely
thawed meat can be cooked and re-frozen provided the temperature has not
reached above 40°F
^ Discard fish and frozen cooked goods that have been completely thawed
(however, if they have not reached 40°F they can be used immediately or
transferred to another restaurant for immediate use)
^ The flavor and texture of vegetables and fruits are impaired upon thawing and re-
freezing -discard these items.
If you have any questions regarding the quality or integrity of food, call the Total Quality
Department at the Restaurant Support Center @ 407-245-5330.

Disaster and Emergency Preparedness Manual
• FOOD PRODUCT HANDLING
After a natural disaster, power outage, etc., please remember the following:
^ Closely examine all of your food prior to reuse (use of a potentially hazardous
product to avoid wasting it is not worth the resulting damage it can do to your
restaurant's public image if it transmits a food borne illness)
^ Contact your Total Quality Manager to evaluate any questionable products
^ If the Health Department has put a hold order on your food, you cannot move it for
any reason without their approval
Generally, fire and smoke damage cause the greatest product loss. Smoke odors can
penetrate almost any type of container with the exception of canned goods. However,
the heat of the fire generally destroys everything. If a fire occurs, it is generally
considered a total product loss.
In case of a flood or fire the following would apply:
If you have any questions regarding the quality or integrity of food, call the Total Quality
Department at the Restaurant Support Center.
Canned Goods
^ Inspect closely and discard all bulging, leaking or dented cans even if you cannot
find a leak, bacteria can get into a hole too small for liquids to leak out.
^ Before using any product in solid, sealed cans, write the contents on the lid with a
waterproof marker, remove all paper labeling, then wash the can thoroughly in hot
soapy water, rinse and submerge them in a sanitizing solution for five minutes.

COMMUNITY
INVOLVEMENT
Restaurant version Page 56 of 58
C:\Documents and Settings\GGSDADI\My Documents\Disaster and Emergency Manual.doc
Disaster and Emergency Preparedness Manual
~ Community Involvement
When a disaster or emergency strikes your area, it affects employees, their families,
friends, neighbors, guests and the building. Darden Restaurants is committed to
supporting every community where we have restaurants. During a disaster or
emergency, we should respond to the community's needs quickly, whenever it is
appropriate and practical.
Your restaurant can assist your community during a disaster or emergency by:
^ Evaluating the situation and deciding how you can best help your neighbors
^ Contacting the Red Cross or other relief agencies and law enforcement officials to
find out how you can help
Suggestions:
^ Deliver complimentary hot coffee and food to road crews clearing streets
^ Stay open later to serve rescue workers and volunteers
0 Send hot coffee and soup to first-aid stations in take-out containers
^ Have employees assist with distributing food and drinks (make sure they clock in)
^ During a power failure, donate your in-date perishable food rather than throw it away
- remembering that we would not want to donate any food we would not serve our
guests.
^ Offer the lobbies as pick-up points for needed supplies
^ If you maintain a safe water supply, invite neighbors without water to fill up their
containers at your restaurant
You will know which action to take by the seriousness of the disaster, the needs of the
community and your restaurant's ability to help.
Your offers to help should be out of a sense of community spirit ... genuine and non-
promotional. For example, offering a 2-for-1 special to families left homeless by a
disaster might look like you're trying to build business and profit from the community's
misfortune, rather than unselfishly helping those in need. Offers like this could result in
negative, rather than positive public relations. In the long run, we want people to
remember our generosity during the disaster.
Above all, don't make any commitments to the community you can't fulfill!
