In the event of a disaster, local governments and relief organizations will work to assist you. However, it is essential to be as personally prepared as possible, as essential services may be cut off immediately after an emergency. Local disaster relief and government responders may not be able to reach you right away.
Understand what you are vulnerable to and develop disaster plans accordingly. Then develop disaster plans and ensure all your staff and employees are familiar with them.
A workplace emergency is a situation that threatens workers, customers, or the public; disrupts or shuts down operations; or causes physical or environmental damage. Emergencies may be natural or man-made, and may include hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, floods, wildfires, winter weather, chemical spills or releases, disease outbreaks, releases of biological agents, explosions involving nuclear or radiological sources, and many other hazards. Many types of emergencies can be anticipated during the planning process, which helps employers and workers plan for other unpredictable situations.
