Emergency
The planning process should take an “all hazards” approach. It’s important to consider many different threats and hazards and the likelihood they will occur. Strategies for prevention/deterrence and risk mitigation should be developed as part of the planning process. Threats or hazards that are classified as probable and those hazards that could cause injury, property damage, business disruption or environmental impact should be addressed.
In developing an all hazards preparedness plan, potential hazards should be identified, vulnerabilities assessed and potential impacts analyzed. The risk assessment identifies threats or hazards and opportunities for hazard prevention, deterrence, and risk mitigation. It should also identify scenarios to consider for emergency planning. This information is useful in making informed decisions regarding investments to offset risks and avoid business disruptions. |
