Emergency Response Plans

Most people will enter and leave buildings through the same entrances, but it is easy for them to overlook other features of a building or personnel in place to ensure their safety.

Apathy

Disaster are "low probability" events and as such they are associated with a high degree of apathy.

Competing priorities of time and money and the underestimation of the risk, the need for emergency preparedness and a planning are often at the end of the list.

Planning process

By planning before a disaster occurs, organizations can realistically determine:

types of events that may occur in your area (natural or human induced)
inventory of resources and equipment needed
educational needs of your building response team members

Types of hazards

Fire
Earthquake
Tornado
Flooding
Power Outage

Medical
Bomb Threat
Civil Unrest
Active Shooter
Pandemic

Implement
the plan

Having a plan is the first step in Emergency Preparedness & Response, but now the personnel identified in the plan need to be trained on their roles and response during an incident.

Not sure where to start, we can help! Our training for Building Response and Floor Wardens will empower those with information to make the right decisions at the right time during an incident.
