Are Your Prepared?
• Most businesses have an emergency exit plan in place, but few have a plan to get back into their buildings following a disaster.
• Disasters are events which disable, interrupt or adversely affect the ability of a business to function normally.
• With the proper planning, you can survive disasters, whether man-made or natural.

Planning for Recovery• A complete Contingency Plan can help prevent
or at least mitigate the effects of potential disasters before they strike.
• An Emergency Response Profile (ERP) is a vital component of a thorough Contingency Plan.
• Think about the potential disasters that could affect your facility, and then develop a plan to recover as quickly and painlessly as possible…this is the essence of your ERP.

Importance of Planning
Research indicates that only 43 percent of businesses that suffer an incapacitating disaster are able to recover and resume operations…and only 29 percent remain in business just two years later.

Where to Begin?
• Identify and eliminate hazards and risks to help prevent or mitigate potential disasters
• Utilize the expertise of others to help disaster-proof your business.
• Develop mutual agreements with vendors as an essential component of your ERP. Make priority arrangements with emergency service contractors before a disaster takes place.

Emergency Response Crucial
• Select vendors that can supply emergency response in any situation, whether a loss is great or small.
• 24-hour emergency response IS crucial. In the event of a fire or water damage, fast response can mean the difference between restoration and cleaning versus costly replacement resulting from prolonged exposure and secondary damage.
