Emergencies and Safety Responsibilities

• BRCC will provide a list of emergency phone numbers and hospital locations to each group leader.
• For security purposes (middle of the night emergency phone calls, etc.), and for insurance purposes, we ask that each group provide us in advance of the group's arrival the name of every individual who will be in attendance and which room/building they are staying in. For the same reason, we also ask that each group provide us with a daily schedule.
• Fire extinguishers and smoke detectors are not to be tampered with. Groups will be accessed fees to cover replacement of damage equipment or recharging of extinguishers.
