All of these have one thing in common – they are equally susceptible to emergency situations. If your organization is faced with an emergency, you need to be ready. Whether it’s a hurricane or a bomb threat, terrorist activity or a chemical spill, make sure that you and your colleagues are prepared.
This Web site has been created as a tool to help you prepare for, respond to and recover from disasters. It explains types of emergencies and the problems they pose; gives you information on how to prepare for them and how to recover from them; and helps you put it all together in an emergency preparedness plan.
