Up to 40% of companies affected by disaster never reopen.
Will yours be one?

OSHA tells us that up to 40% of all businesses affected by natural or human-caused disaster never resume business. Just as worrying is the fact that employees at one half of U.S. companies do not believe that their company is prepared for a disaster, according to the Society for Human Resource Management. 

Tornadoes, hurricanes, fires, earthquakes—even disgruntled former employees—all pose risks to your business. An emergency action plan is a critical tool to help reduce your vulnerability. Thinking through the practical considerations in advance means you are prepared should the worst happen:

• How do we determine if all of our employees have safely evacuated the building?
• Which employees are responsible for directing people to exits and accounting for them afterward?
• Who should attend to essential operations during the emergency?
• What about contact after the event?  

C&F Risk Engineering offers a sample Emergency Action Plan, as well as a comprehensive guide to help create your own. 

Keeping all of your employees safe and your organization intact requires planning.  We're ready and available to help you develop your organization's emergency action plan today.
