Or. Admin. R. 859-200-0315 - Emergency Move Exceptions
(1)
Nothing in Division 200 prohibits the Board, the community placement, and the
Oregon Health Authority from entering into a mutually satisfactory agreement
regarding the patient's temporary placement in the community during an
emergency.
(a) If the person is temporarily
placed in a more restrictive setting during an emergency, they are not required
to obtain a mental health evaluation before returning to the placement they had
before the emergency temporary move occurred unless otherwise recommended by
the PSRB case monitor.
(b) For the
purposes of this rule, an emergency is defined as circumstances that could not
be reasonably foreseen that create a substantial risk to the health and safety
of the patient, including, but not limited to, a natural disaster, fire, or the
unexpected closure of the patient's residence.
(2) In the event of a person's move to a
temporary placement due to an emergency, the PSRB will notify the any victims
and the district attorney of the commitment county of the person's move as soon
as practicable.
