Its All In The Planning - Surviving Disaster


ITS ALL IN THE PLANNING - PREPARING FOR THE UNTHINKABLE

* Make it clear who needs to do what, and whotakes responsibility for what.

*Appoint deputies for key roles.

*Use checklists that people can follow easily.

*Include clear, direct instructions for the crucial first hour after an incident.

*Include a list of things that do not need to be considered until after the first hour.

*Agree how often you will check your plan to ensure it is always a "living document". Update it to reflect changes in personnel and in the risks you may face.

*A good plan will be simple without being simplistic. You can't plan in detail for every event. Remember that people need to be able to react quickly in an emergency; there will be no time to read lots of detail.

*Plan for worst-case scenarios. If your plan covers how to get back in business if a flood destroys your building, it will also work if just one floor is flooded.
