Corporate Emergency Preparedness

A sudden disaster

A looming crisis

Are you and your staff prepared for an emergency?

Emergency Management & Training has the experience to prepare you for the worst (and everything else). Coping well means much more than evacuating a building in the event of a fire. A threat of violence, communicable disease, serious injury or missing person can create a major incident in your organization.

Industry-specific approaches allow you to be sure the right plan is in place for your needs. Whether you are operating in the Education, Healthcare, Manufacturing, Hospitality, or Government arenas . . .

. . . We can help you!

• Identify the hazards and complete a risk analysis
• Examine prevention and mitigation opportunities and procedures
• Create an Incident Management System
• Train staff in emergency procedures
• Establish a recovery plan to return to "normal" as soon as possible

Assessing your risks

Violence in the workplace, security risk assessments, severe weather, fire, floods, hazardous materials, epidemic / pandemic, loss of heat, water or electricity

While major events such as hurricanes, earthquakes and bomb threats are all valid risks there are also many other incidents that can severely affect your organization and your staff.

Examining mitigation procedures

Transportation Methods, Plant Processes, Back-up Systems, Employee Training, Security

What can be done to prevent a potential incident or reduce the risk? An objective and trained facilitator can work with staff to discover lower risk alternatives in many cases.

Implementing the Incident Management System (IMS)

Incident Manager – Liaison – Operations – Planning - Safety & Security - Public Information – Finance / Administration

Training as well as a written set of policies and procedures that address seven key functions combine to create a comprehensive system. The Incident Management System is designed to be scalable and appropriate for all hazards. It outlines common lines of communications and integration with other agencies. This system will avoid confusion and provide a strategic and calming action plan in the midst of chaos.

Training staff

Who does what? What gets done? Where does it get done?
When does it get done? How does it get done?

Once a plan has been put into place, the people who would actually have to carry out the tasks in an emergency have to be identified and trained. In many organizations all staff should receive a minimum level of training to protect patients, students or clients.

Establishing a Business Continuity and Operational Resiliency plan

How do you get business operations back to normal as soon as possible?

Business Continuity and Operational Resiliency Planning is critical to ensure that your organization continues to be operational and profitable following an incident that may otherwise cripple your business. Instead of focusing on resuming a business after critical operations have ceased, or recovering after a disaster, a Business Continuity and Operational Resiliency plan is in place to ensure that vital operations continue to be available. Components of the Business Continuity and Operational Resiliency Plan may include responding to: staffing requirements, IT restoration, damaged machinery, delayed deliveries, compromised workspace, post traumatic stresses and negative media coverage.
