h. Continuous Improvement and Future Enhancements

Our emergency preparedness program is a living system, evolving with emerging challenges and regulatory changes. Continuous improvement processes include: • Collecting feedback from emergency drills, actual incidents, and staff debrief sessions to identify areas of improvement. • Conducting after-action reports following any emergency to assess response effectiveness and prevent future occurrences. • Engaging with external experts and regulatory bodies to refine protocols and incorporate best practices from the field. • Investing in advanced technology for early warning systems, real-time digital communication, and remote monitoring to enhance overall readiness. • Expanding training modules to include scenario-based simulations and interactive role-playing to better prepare staff for rare but critical events. These continuous improvement activities are monitored through our Quality Assurance process, with regular performance indicators reported to executive leadership. Corrective actions and process redesigns are implemented promptly, ensuring that the emergency preparedness program remains robust, effective, and compliant with the highest professional and regulatory standards. i.
