Why it is required

CDC+ materials emphasize an Emergency Back-Up (EBU) plan so critical supports continue if the primary worker cannot work.

Plan elements

  1. Primary worker contacts
  2. Back-up worker(s) with screening status
  3. Agency or informal network options
  4. Steps for after-hours needs
  5. Who authorizes emergency purchases within rules
Complete the interactive EBU tool under Tools, then keep a printed copy at home.
