DISASTER RESPONSE

The disaster response section spells out the procedures your organization will execute when responding to an emergency. Because it can be difficult to read a lengthy document during the chaos of the disaster, whenever possible, these procedures should be formatted as a checklist or a map. The goal is to make it as easy as possible for people to follow when they’re under massive stress.

Disaster response procedures should include:

Procedures for accounting for all employees and visitors after an evacuation

How to assess the situation

How and when to activate the disaster response

How to report an emergency

Who to report the emergency to

Procedures for communicating with personnel

Procedures for protecting employees, visitors, customers, records, critical equipment, and the facility

Rescue and medical response protocol

How and when to order an evacuation

Specific procedures for responding to particular events, such as an earthquake or tornado

Instructions for managing response activities

Coordination efforts with outside organizations

Procedures for shutting down operations

Procedures for returning operations to normal

Procedures for determining when a disaster is “over”
