Contract Title: Shelter in Place Rolling Racks and Cots



Background: VAMC Biloxi Shelter in Place (SIP) plan requires certain provisions for designated staff to remain for all hazard events before, during and after a disaster disrupts the healthcare system or community. The new SIP plan is broken down by a Tier 1, 2 and 3 minimal, intermediate and expanded staff teams for remaining at VAMC Biloxi for an event. This will reduce workman compensation injuries and will provide an immediate response located in shelter member areas.



Scope. This provides the minimal number of cots for VAMC Biloxi staff. FEMA and the Red Cross have endorsed the cots as used in Puerto Rico Shelter in Place response.
