Reacting
· Emergency action plan will go into effect immediately as the incident occurs.

o After the front desk is notified, they will immediately send the hotel manager on duty to assist in evacuating the pool area. It will be their job to send all other patrons back to their rooms until the pool can be opened again. Then the manager will address the media in extreme situations.
o Second lifeguard on duty will assist in rescuing the victim and getting them out of the pool and either begin CPR as needed, administer First Aid and/or move near the emergency door if necessary.
o If third lifeguard is available, they will locate the family of the victim and will learn as much history about the victim as possible. In some situations, they will assist the family in filling out an incident report. They will also wait with the family to keep them calm in extreme situations.
· After EMS has arrived and the victim has been taken away, all staff involved will fill out incident reports. Reports are to be filled out before they go off duty that day.
· If necessary, Lifeguards on duty will clean the pool and check chemical levels. Also they will clean the pool deck of any bodily fluids or materials left by EMS.
