It doesn’t matter how big or small your business is, emergencies can happen that can have a devastating impact on your whole operation.
Emergencies can affect every area of your business - your staff, your customers and even your supply chains. Loss of utilities and transport emergencies can stop day-to-day operations that you normally take for granted.
Disruption can come in many forms from fire to flooding, evacuations, to pandemics, storm damage to cyber attacks. Emergencies happen when you least expect them but you can plan in advance to be better prepared.
Taking time to plan for emergencies and preparing your staff and business can save you time and money if something does happen.
Having an emergency plan in place which outlines what, how, where and when actions would be taken in an emergency can take the stress out of a situation because you and your staff have a clear understanding of the role they need to play.
