confidence to administer dantrolene. We also know we have the
MHAUS Hotline (800-644-9737) at our fingertips, just in case we need
help with any of the steps along the way.
Although we conduct readiness simulations annually, staying pre-
pared is a daily event. Every day our staff runs through the MH cart to
check expiration dates for the dantrolene and other critical supplies,
and also makes sure the lock is intact so we know those supplies are
secure in the event of a real crisis.
