We never know when a disaster will hit, but it is important to have a plan ready for your business.

We never know when a disaster will hit, but it is important to have a plan ready for your business. Without proper preparation, a relatively minor emergency can have tragic consequences for any business. 

An Emergency Readiness Plan must include the following:

• A procedure for reporting emergencies
• An evacuation plan
• A way to account for all employees after the evacuation
• Medical or rescue duties being performed by employees, if applicable

To truly protect your employees, your contingency plan could also include a description of the various alarms that will go off in the event of an emergency.

You may also want to come up with an alternative communications location where everyone can gather in the event of a fire or smoke damage to the property. 

Once the plan is in place, select an employee to lead the facility in event of an emergency. Your employees should also be trained so they understand the plan. Consider holding practice drills to test.
