Emergency! What Is Your Level of Preparation?

earthquake-houselPreparing for natural disasters, terrorist attacks, earthquakes, fires and the floods that follow are things we know we should do, but …

After all, you probably think you already have been through enough disaster  with the recession, investment market and housing slump, three-year drought, largest fire in Los Angeles County history and the failure of 100-year old water mains. What’s next?

Being prepared in your business is required.  As an example:

  • Basic- Cal/OSHA Emergency Action and Fire Plan. California requires every employer to have a plan dealing with disaster and safe evacuation of employees.
  • Better Business Continuity Plan. Gets your firm back into profitable operation after interruption from crisis or disaster.
  • Best Practice- Customer Focused Plan as a Competitive Advantage. Proactively work with key customers and suppliers to assure service during and after a disaster.

California Area Earthquake Probability: More than 99%

Over the next 30 years for one or more 6.7 or greater quakes causing extensive damage.

What You Can Do:

  • Develop a Cal/OSHA compliant Emergency Action and Fire Plan.
  • Provide resources for your employees for emergency family plans and guides to help them prepare a family emergency supply kit.
  • Assist you in preparing a Business Continuity Plan – to get back into business after a disaster or other interruption.
  • Advise on the Best Practices of a Customer Oriented Plan to make competitive advantage of your firm’s preparedness to help customers in their operations.

October 15, 2009 was a public event promoting earthquake awareness throughout the state, ‘The Great California Shakeout”. The program will involve media, schools, utilities, many business firms and groups and government agencies. Visit the program’s web site at www.shakeout.org. You will find a wide variety of resources for your firm and your employees.
