1. (1) Nothing in Divisions 501 through 600 prohibits the Board, the youth’s SAIP, SCIP, SITP, or community placement, and the Oregon Health Authority from entering into a mutually satisfactory agreement regarding the youth’s placement in the community during an emergency.

   1. (a) If the youth 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 case monitor.
   2. (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. (2) In the event of a youth’s move to a temporary placement due to an emergency, the PSRB will notify the any victims of the person’s move as soon as practicable.
