Webinar Opportunity: Fire, Life Safety, and Emergency Preparedness

(Aug., 12, 2025) On Wed. Nov. 12th, Leading Age National will host a webinar on Fire, Life Safety, and Emergency Preparedness. The webinar will take an in-depth look at life safety survey trends and strategies to strengthen emergency preparedness.

A recent five-alarm fire at a Massachusetts assisted living community serves as a powerful reminder of the critical importance of having fire, life safety, and emergency preparedness plans that are not only up to date but also well-practiced. This incident underscores why these areas remain central to regulatory compliance and continue to be key focus points during surveys for nursing home and assisted living providers.

What the webinar will cover:

• Review preparation best practices and the most frequently cited Life Safety Code® deficiencies (K-tags), including sprinkler systems, generators, fire alarm systems, and door integrity.
• Learn from recent disasters where rapid evacuations were necessary and explore ways to strengthen plans to address urgent and unforeseen events.
• Understand the difference between having a compliant emergency preparedness plan and maintaining an operationally ready program—and how to bridge that gap effectively.
