About

The website describes a full-scale evacuation exercise at Maimonides Medical Center’s NICU. The drill was designed to practice safely moving newborns and staff during an emergency. It involved hospital workers, special equipment, and careful planning to make sure babies would be safe if they ever needed to leave the building quickly. The exercise helped the team find ways to improve their response in real emergencies and made sure everyone knew what steps to take for a safe evacuation of the NICU.
