Emergency Evacuation Plan for Pharmacy

As we move closer to hurricane season, and issues with really bad storms, does anyone have a written SOP and/or Policy on Pharmacy's role in emergency evacuation for the hospital?
We've had a few close calls over the last few years with storms that turned at the last minute and went elsewhere, but now we're getting serious about how Pharmacy will help the organization, and what it's role will be in medication management if the hospital had to be evacuated.

Thanks.

Feel free to email me directly if that's better for you.
