Emergency planning and crisis management
Good emergency and crisis planning aims to reduce, control or mitigate the effects of emergencies such as natural disasters, spills of hazardous materials, fires and explosions, and security threats. While pre-planned emergency response is most effective for the immediate tackling of any predictable event, the unpredictable nature of crises, often from unforeseen risks that could threaten the existence of the organisation, means that a more creative style aligned with the organisation’s values is required.
