55	GUAM MEMORIAL HOSPITAL AUTHORITY	655000	499 NORTH SABANA DRIVE	BARRIGADA	GU	96913	2014-09-19	517	B	0	1	OCYD11	Based on observation and document review, the facility did not have a written plan and procedure to ensure availability of water supply for all residents, staff, visitors, and family members in the event of an emergency or disaster. Finding includes: Review of the facility's plan regarding availability and storage of drinking water supply during an emergency revealed that forty-five gallons of drinking water would be made available in the dietary department for the use of residents. During an interview on 9/17/18, a dietary staff member explained that the allocated water supply should allow 30 residents (the number of residents being planned for) to each have 2 quarts of drinking water each day for three days of the anticipated duration of the emergency. Further review of the plan however revealed the lack of consideration for the number of employees, visitors, and family members who may be stranded in the facility during the emergency and would therefore have no access to drinking water. During the kitchen tour on 9/17/14, forty-eight gallons of drinking water were observed in the dietary department storage room. In the same interview, the staff member stated that the available water supply was sufficient to meet the drinking water needs of 30 residents for three days of emergency, but not those of staff, family members, and/or visitors.	2019-04-01
