California ARF Administrator Practice Exam

Disaster drills must be conducted every 6 months in ARF (Adult Residential Facility) homes to ensure that staff and residents are prepared for unforeseen emergencies. This requirement is established to enhance the level of safety and readiness within the facility, ensuring that all individuals are familiar with evacuation procedures and emergency protocols. Conducting drills twice a year strikes a balance between keeping the skills sharp and not overwhelming staff and residents with excessive drills. Regular practice helps to reinforce proper responses in actual disaster situations, enhancing overall preparedness and safety in the facility.
