An emergency situation is:
  • A situation where failure to do so may result in:
    - a client being left without means of food, shelter or warmth.
    - the withholding of medical services/supplies which are required within two days.
  • Any unavoidable and unforeseen occurrence, situation or set of circumstances which is occurring at the present time, and requires immediate response, and the nature of the response is seen as crisis intervention.

Managers have the authority to approve special benefits for clients who are not in a Priority Group, when in the manager's opinion, a refusal would place the client in a critical emergency situation.
