Hurricane Katrina.

California wildfires

9/11.

Disasters, both natural and man-made, have been much in the news these last few years. And between extreme weather, and the ongoing war on terror, they look to stay in the news.

Of course, those are only the disasters the media takes note of.

Every day, there are thousands of lesser emergencies, each a disaster in its own right for those involved. For while a building fire or pipe break may only affect those who use the damaged structure and not an entire community, if you’re one of those users, it will affect you deeply, and perhaps for months to come.

If you’re responsible for the safe operation of a business, this makes emergency planning an absolute essential. You need to think through beforehand what your organization will need to survive whatever comes, and to then rebuild in the aftermath.

BLR has created a new special report to help you. Titled Planning for the Day You Dread: 10 Critical Steps to Prepare for a Disaster, the report will take you through a detailed process of exploring all the implications of a business emergency and how to minimize what it does to you. Here are some of the areas the report covers:

--Forming Your Emergency Planning Team. It’s not as simple as tasking the senior managers and letting it go at that. What happens if your top people are injured or otherwise can’t work? Or if they lack the needed technical expertise to get things back in order. We’ll show you how to create a multi-level team, with appropriate backups.

--Analyzing the Risks. Disaster risks differ geographically and in terms of your local climate, both meteorological and social. We’ll take you through an assessment of risks in your local area, including judging the probability of each kind of disaster happening and estimating its severity.

--Prioritizing Operations to be Maintained. If trouble strikes, which parts of your operation should get first access to what will, undoubtedly, be limited resources? We’ll suggest ways to prioritize and steps to take before an emergency so those resources will be in place when needed.

--Working with Insurers. You want to be sure all the types of coverage you need are in place before they’re needed, and that you have the means to quickly define damages to your insurer, to avoid conflicts and delayed payment after the fact. We’ll tell you the steps to take.

--Creating Emergency Communications. In a communitywide emergency, expect normal communications to be down, sometimes for days. We’ll suggest alternative means to get word about your situation to your workers, customers, and suppliers, and to ascertain their needs from you.

--Partnering with Community Resources. When disaster strikes is not the time to form a relationship with local agencies that can help you. We’ll guide you toward building those links on an ongoing basis, so your calls for assistance get heard, and you know in advance what help will be available.

--Training for Emergencies. Your plan will only be as good as the training you provide in how to implement it. We’ll suggest who and how to train for greatest readiness.

--Testing Your Plan. No plan is stronger than its weakest elements. Proper testing will find and strengthen those elements before it’s needed. We’ll tell you to do it. (Hint: Sunday nights are the best time.)

--Plan Update Procedures. Even the best crisis plan gets stale as key people move on and changes happen in the business and in the environment in which it operates. We’ll suggest a reasonable update cycle and the steps it entails.

Obviously, we all hope emergency plans are never needed, but if they are, you want the best available. This report will help you have it … well thought through, and ready to go, 24/7. It’s great advice at any price.

But perhaps the best thing about this must-have report is that there is no price. It’s yours absolutely FREE, for signing up as a charter subscriber to equally FREE Safety Daily Advisor.
