Will You be Ready if Disaster Strikes? - Emergency Response Plan



With June 1 officially being the start of the 2014 Hurricane season, a business needs to be able to react immediately and confidently after a disaster, so it can quickly minimize losses and get back up and running. Follow along this week as we provide 5 valuable Emergency plans the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) recommends developing to ensure workplaces are ready when a flood, tornado, earthquake, fire, hurricane, or other disaster occurs. 
 
# 1 -  Emergency Response Plan
 
Planning for how your business will protect your employees, visitors, property, and the environment during and after a disaster includes processes for evacuation, lockdown, sheltering, and other site-specific responses. Safety is the top priority when developing this plan, and it should also include a post-disaster process for cleaning up, evaluating damage, salvaging property, and protecting undamaged property. These efforts will help reduce business disruption and damage.
