Comprehensive Emergency Management and
Integrated Business Recovery Planning
Being well prepared
for a variety of unexpected events or emergencies is both critical to
business success and expected by your employees and the surrounding
community. It is all too common for a company to be well versed in certain
aspects of emergency response planning, but be quite vulnerable in other
areas. In today’s environment, crisis prevention, emergency response
planning, media response preparedness and business recovery plans are not
only prudent, but also often regulated, for the health, safety and welfare
of your employees and the general public. They must be treated as key
components of a unified, effective Emergency Management Plan. A
well-integrated plan can make the difference between a public image of
responsibility and caring versus one of perceived chaos.
Your operations, as
well as your employees and customers, depend on you to have a sound,
practical and well rehearsed approach to deal with emergencies such as
natural disasters, fire, spill, explosion, medical, hostage, or other
business interruption events. Unplanned events result in tangible costs
associated with injuries, lost production and sales as well as intangible
costs such as negative publicity and loss of goodwill with your customers.
We, at Creative
Science Solutions, Inc., have extensive experience in developing emergency
response plans, as well as organizing and leading well-trained emergency
management teams to effectively respond to emergency situations.
Additionally, we can integrate these plans with your business recovery
efforts. We can translate our expertise into practical solutions for your
organization drawing on our experience in dealing with diverse employee
groups, conflicting business priorities, and regional or local emergency
management organizations. We can apply this insight to either a corporate
environment or a manufacturing site located in close proximity to
surrounding population areas.
Our approach is to
employ a risk assessment process where we identify those business
functions that are most vulnerable, as well as the most likely scenarios
where proactive preparation is most leveraging. This assessment forms the
basis for your response and recovery plan where identifying hazards leads
to determining potential consequences associated with each hazard and
estimating the likelihood of each hazard occurring.
We don’t stop
there, however. It is vitally important that key plan elements are
communicated and integrated with local community and county emergency
response organizations. As part of our past experience in directing
community affair activities, CSS, Inc. can provide a strategy and
resources to integrate this plan with local organizations, facilitate
meetings with key community members, the press and local officials.
CSS, Inc. will work
closely with you to understand your business needs and provide a
customized, comprehensive plan that is reflective of your business risks
and is straight forward to implement and maintain.
