What is Emergency Management?
Emergency Management (EM) is the process of increasing resilience in the face of natural, technological, and human-made disasters. EM addresses the prevention, mitigation of, preparation for, response to, and recovery of your business or operations from these crises or disasters. As complete prevention of a disaster or crisis is rarely possible, the other four elements become more important.
Prevention: Increase resilience in your operations to minimize the threat of damage from crises such as fires, even if you cannot prevent them entirely.
Mitigation: Take a holistic approach to procedures, employee expectations, management decisions, etc. in advance to minimize the impact of a crisis.
Preparation: Set pre-conditions of success before a crisis occurs, such as detailing first-aid kit locations, alternate operations plans, employee protection, and contact numbers.
Response: Document your response to likely crises in advance to avoid making critical decisions under duress, such as protecting data and evacuating employees and clients.
Recovery: Prioritize what needs to be done to get your operations back up and running after a crisis, such as replacing lost inventory, repairing damaged parts or infrastructure, and working with your insurance provider.
