It is designed to help anyone who has been asked to prepare an emergency plan. We will show you how to involve your top manage throughout the process, guaranteeing your success. Perhaps you are enrolled in one of the emergency preparedness certification programs which are springing up at university campuses across the country. If so, you have already been exposed to the Incident Command System which is used widely in the fire fighting and emergency response communities. We provide you with a process which will work for them as well.
Major disasters can happen anywhere.
They can be natural or manmade. When they occur, it is too late to start planning. It doesn't matter whether you work in business, government office, school, hospital, church military, university, or volunteer organization. The same planning must take place. We have used businesses as the main focus of this book, because the terms used to describe their functions are generally known by everyone.
