Planning for emergencies
is a sensible precaution. We are faced with a variety of
hazards that could cause an emergency
for your business. That represents a threat to you,
your
employees, your customers, and your community. Businesses
that are poorly prepared to deal with an emergency,
or the consequences of it, may not be able to stay in
business.
That potentially represents a significant economic
loss, both personal and public.
There are four simple steps to an effective business
plan:
- understanding the hazards that could affect you
- reducing those hazards, or the consequences of them
- having a plan to respond to emergencies if they occur
- practising the response to the most likely events.
The Emergency
Planning Guidelines for Business are designed to help businesses prepare an effective plan.
Every business is different and these
guidelines are only a general summary. You will need
to adapt the guidance to suit your needs. Emphasise the
areas that represent the greatest risk to your business,
your employees and customers, and your community.
