Dear Mr. Caruana:
During the past month, the Fire and Disaster Committee at Memorial Hospital,
Bowmanville has been in the process of revising it's Fire and Disaster Procedures
Manuals.
It is necessary that the Hospital have a formal plan to address evacuation procedures
and the location patients will be taken in the event of a fire or disaster.
The Committee has suggested that the Bowmanville Recreation Complex located at
Highway #2 and Regional Road #57 would be an ideal evacuation centre because of the
size of the building and the fact that ground level access (no stairs) is available.
On behalf of the Committee and Memorial Hospital, I would like to formally request your
consideration in designating the Bowmanville Recreation Complex as the evacuation
centre for Memorial Hospital.
Please let me know as soon as possible as to the acceptance or rejection of our
proposal.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
~~n
Director, Engineering Services
