Time and again history has shown that a well thought out, coordinated response helps prevent personal injury, property damage and lessen the resulting confusion. When an organization plans on how it will respond to an emergency threatening its operations, it is more likely to survive the incident.
During a large scale disaster, local response agencies may be overwhelmed and unable to immediately respond to the organization's site. Employees and clients alike will need to know what to do to protect themselves during an emergency.
Site Emergency Plan
A site emergency plan describes, in detail, an organization's policy and procedures for coping with an emergency situation on site. These policies and procedures should define how the organization will protect people and property. Developing the plan is the process of assigning emergency related tasks to individuals in the organization and outlining protective actions to be taken.
Oakland County Emergency Response and Preparedness can provide businesses with site planning materials/workbooks to assist in the development of an emergency plan.
