What is the National Incident Management System?
• Comprehensive, nationwide systematic approach to incident management
• Core set of doctrine, concepts, principles, terminology and organizational processes for
all hazards
• Essential principles for a common operating picture and interoperability of
communications and information management
• Standardized resource management procedures for coordination among different
jurisdictions and organizations
• Scalable and applicable for all incidents
Key benefits of NIMS
• Enhances organizational and technological interoperability and cooperation
• Provides a scalable and flexible framework with universal applicability
• Promotes all-hazards preparedness
• Enables a wide variety of organizations to participate effectively in emergency
management/incident response
• Institutionalizes professional emergency management/incident response practices
NIMS Audience:
NIMS is applicable to all incidents and all levels of stakeholders, including levels of
government, private sector organizations, critical infrastructure owners and operators,
nongovernmental organizations and all other organizations who assume a role in emergency
management. Elected and appointed officials and policy makers, who are responsible for
jurisdictional policy decisions, must also have a clear understanding of NIMS to better serve
their constituency.
NIMS Components:
Built on existing structures, such as the Incident Command System (ICS), NIMS creates a
proactive system to assist those responding to incidents or planned events. To unite the
practice of emergency management and incident response throughout the country, NIMS
focuses on five key areas, or components. These components link together and work in unison
to form a larger and comprehensive incident management system.
NIMS Components include:
• Preparedness
• Communications and Information Management
• Resource Management
• Command and Management
• Ongoing Management and Maintenance

DEPARTMENT CYBERSECURITY What’s Your IT Risk ApproaLinaCovington707
DEPARTMENT: CYBERSECURITY
What’s Your IT Risk
Approach?
Risk is the likelihood that a loss will occur. Losses occur
when a threat exposes vulnerability. To identify risks, you
need to identify the threats and vulnerabilities and then
estimate the likelihood of a threat-exploiting vulnerability.
Risk management starts with an understanding of the
threats and vulnerabilities, after which the appropriate
mitigation action is identified. It is a series of coordinated
activities to direct and control challenges or threats to
achieving an organization’s goals. Enterprise Risk
Management (ERM) is an organization-wide approach to
addressing the full spectrum of the organization’s
significant risks by understanding the combined impact of risks as an interrelated portfolio,
rather than addressing risks only within silos.
Cybersecurity risk is the risk to an organizational operation’s mission, function, image,
reputation, organizational assets, individuals, and the nation due to the potential for unauthorized
access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction of information and/or
information systems. Information system–related security risks are those that arise through the
loss of confidentiality, integrity, or availability of information systems. Cyber risk, like any other
type of risk, cannot be eliminated—it must be managed. Effective cybersecurity demands the
shared responsibility of all. The management of organizational risk is a key element of an
enterprise-wide information security program that provides an effective framework for
minimizing risks from security threat.
The objective of a cybersecurity risk-management program is to provide an integrated view of IT
risk across the entire organization and to ensure that risk issues are integrated into the strategic
decision-making process to further the achievement of performance goals. Within the US
Department of Education’s Federal Student Aid (FSA) cybersecurity risk-management program,
the objective is to strengthen information technology systems’ security through effective risk
management, understand the threats and vulnerabilities, and then mitigate the risks or reduce the
potential impacts. Effectively managing cybersecurity risk is a continuous activity and requires
communication across all levels of an organization.
OMB Circular A-123’s Management’s Responsibility for Enterprise Risk Management and
Internal Control1 requires all federal agencies to implement an ERM capability. ERM is the
discipline that identifies, assesses, and manages risks to all concentration of efforts toward key
points of failure and reduces or eliminates potential disruptive events. ERM is part of the overall
governance process and is an integral part of cybersecurity risk management, ensuring that
actions taken support the enterprise mission and goals. It provides a holistic approach to
managing risk opportunistically to achieve maximum results for the ...
Appropriate Crisis Management Infrastructure Is Essential to Your Long Term V...ARC Advisory Group
The document summarizes a report from the US Department of Justice comparing various crisis information management software packages. It describes the benefits of these tools, such as providing real-time data and support for emergency response. It also lists 10 software packages evaluated in the report and provides recommendations for manufacturers to assess risks, select appropriate crisis management software, and develop expertise in crisis information management systems for manufacturing environments.
This presentation provides a comprehensive plan for implementing an enterprise risk management program. It covers the costs/benefits of an ERM program, the critical knowledge, skills and abilities of a Chief Risk Officer, a risk taxonomy for insurance firms, a hypothetical organizational structure for an electric utility, a sample risk register, and other useful information.
The document discusses operational security, incident response, and disaster recovery. It provides overviews of security operations, the incident response process and roles, evaluation and analysis of incidents, response and mitigation, recovery and remediation, reporting, and lessons learned. The document also discusses disaster recovery planning, strategies, priority levels, roles and responsibilities, testing plans, communication with stakeholders, and the restoration process after a disaster.
Guide for Applying The Risk Management Framework to Federal Information SystemsGuillermo Remache
This document provides guidelines for applying the Risk Management Framework (RMF) to federal information systems. The RMF is a six-step process for integrating security and risk management activities into the system development life cycle. The six steps are: (1) categorize the system, (2) select security controls, (3) implement controls, (4) assess controls, (5) authorize the system, and (6) monitor controls. Applying the RMF helps ensure security controls are built into systems and risks are managed on an ongoing basis through activities such as continuous monitoring. The document is intended for individuals involved in system development, security, and risk management.

estimate the likelihood of a threat-exploiting vulnerability.
Risk management starts with an understanding of the
threats and vulnerabilities, after which the appropriate
mitigation action is identified. It is a series of coordinated
activities to direct and control challenges or threats to
achieving an organization’s goals. Enterprise Risk
Management (ERM) is an organization-wide approach to
addressing the full spectrum of the organization’s
significant risks by understanding the combined impact of risks as an interrelated portfolio,
rather than addressing risks only within silos.
Cybersecurity risk is the risk to an organizational operation’s mission, function, image,
reputation, organizational assets, individuals, and the nation due to the potential for unauthorized
access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction of information and/or
information systems. Information system–related security risks are those that arise through the
loss of confidentiality, integrity, or availability of information systems. Cyber risk, like any other
type of risk, cannot be eliminated—it must be managed. Effective cybersecurity demands the
shared responsibility of all. The management of organizational risk is a key element of an
enterprise-wide information security program that provides an effective framework for
minimizing risks from security threat.
The objective of a cybersecurity risk-management program is to provide an integrated view of IT
risk across the entire organization and to ensure that risk issues are integrated into the strategic
decision-making process to further the achievement of performance goals. Within the US
Department of Education’s Federal Student Aid (FSA) cybersecurity risk-management program,
the objective is to strengthen information technology systems’ security through effective risk
management, understand the threats and vulnerabilities, and then mitigate the risks or reduce the
potential impacts. Effectively managing cybersecurity risk is a continuous activity and requires
communication across all levels of an organization.
OMB Circular A-123’s Management’s Responsibility for Enterprise Risk Management and
Internal Control1 requires all federal agencies to implement an ERM capability. ERM is the
discipline that identifies, assesses, and manages risks to all concentration of efforts toward key
points of failure and reduces or eliminates potential disruptive events. ERM is part of the overall
governance process and is an integral part of cybersecurity risk management, ensuring that
actions taken support the enterprise mission and goals. It provides a holistic approach to
managing risk opportunistically to achieve maximum results for the ...
Appropriate Crisis Management Infrastructure Is Essential to Your Long Term V...ARC Advisory Group
The document summarizes a report from the US Department of Justice comparing various crisis information management software packages. It describes the benefits of these tools, such as providing real-time data and support for emergency response. It also lists 10 software packages evaluated in the report and provides recommendations for manufacturers to assess risks, select appropriate crisis management software, and develop expertise in crisis information management systems for manufacturing environments.
This presentation provides a comprehensive plan for implementing an enterprise risk management program. It covers the costs/benefits of an ERM program, the critical knowledge, skills and abilities of a Chief Risk Officer, a risk taxonomy for insurance firms, a hypothetical organizational structure for an electric utility, a sample risk register, and other useful information.
The document discusses operational security, incident response, and disaster recovery. It provides overviews of security operations, the incident response process and roles, evaluation and analysis of incidents, response and mitigation, recovery and remediation, reporting, and lessons learned. The document also discusses disaster recovery planning, strategies, priority levels, roles and responsibilities, testing plans, communication with stakeholders, and the restoration process after a disaster.
Guide for Applying The Risk Management Framework to Federal Information SystemsGuillermo Remache
This document provides guidelines for applying the Risk Management Framework (RMF) to federal information systems. The RMF is a six-step process for integrating security and risk management activities into the system development life cycle. The six steps are: (1) categorize the system, (2) select security controls, (3) implement controls, (4) assess controls, (5) authorize the system, and (6) monitor controls. Applying the RMF helps ensure security controls are built into systems and risks are managed on an ongoing basis through activities such as continuous monitoring. The document is intended for individuals involved in system development, security, and risk management.

Read Chapter 2 first. Then come to this assignment.
The first theme of next week's class (Week 2) will be Chapter 2, Concepts of Infectious Disease. I will briefly go through the chapter to make sure that you understand it, and then we will have a discussion.
Since the chapter in the textbook is so full of important concepts, it would be difficult to narrow it down to a single topic for discussion. So I have posted this introduction and 3 separate subtopics. You can choose which one you want to write about. Each student should choose one of these subtopics for your major post. You should write well thought out primary comments on at least one of the points below (150-200 words).
BE SURE TO INCLUDE YOUR NAME AND SUBTOPIC IN THE HEADER FOR YOUR PAPER.
We will discuss each of the subtopics that were chosen by the students. Each of you should take an active role in presenting your topic to the other students. Explain the concept in your own words, or develop it further using a relevant example. As other students present their perspective on the same topic, hopefully an active discussion will take hold. I will jump in only as needed. This format will allow you to develop one subtopic in an active sense, but learn about the others by being drawn into them through other people's discussions.
Choose your subtopic:
Subtopic 1: Factors that affect the spread of epidemics
Question: Explain how the interaction between these factors are relevant to the transmission of AIDS. For example, which of these factors are most critical to the transmission of HIV. Which aren't.
1. Total number of hosts
2. Host’s birth rate
3. Rate at which new susceptible hosts migrate into population
4. Number of susceptible uninfected hosts
5. Rate at which disease can be transmitted from infected to uninfected hosts
6. Death rate of infected hosts
7. The number of infected hosts who survive and become immune or resistant to further infection
Subtopic 2: Acute versus Chronic Infections
Question: Compare the definitions of Acute Infections and Chronic Infections below. Based on what you know about HIV/AIDS at this point, which description most closely matches AIDS? Explain your answer, using evidence from the book to support your position.
What is an acute infection?
1. Produces symptoms and makes a person infectious soon after infection.
2. The infected person may: transmit the disease

Teaching Grammar and Editing in Public
Administration: Lessons Learned from
Early Offerings of an Undergraduate
Administrative Writing Course
Claire Connolly Knox
University of Central Florida School of Public Administration
ABSTRACT
College graduates need to possess strong writing skills before entering the work-
force. Although many public administration undergraduate programs primarily
focus on policy, finance, and management, we fall short of a larger goal if students
cannot communicate results to a variety of audiences. This article discusses the
results of a national survey, which concludes that few undergraduate public affairs
programs require an administrative/technical writing course. Based on pedagogical
theories, this article describes the design of a newly implemented, undergraduate,
administrative writing course. The article concludes with lessons learned, provides
recommendations for programs considering requiring an administrative writing
course, and discusses future research.
Keywords: administrative writing, Plain Language Movement, discourse community,
undergraduate course design
“Administrators not only need to know about communications, they need to
be able to communicate” (Denhardt, 2001, p. 529). Public administration under-
graduate students learn the importance of communication within organizations
in leadership, human resources, or organizational management courses; however,
practical instruction in communication skills, such as effective, audience-centered
writing, are lacking. Scholars (e.g., Cleary, 1990, 1997; Lee, 2000; Raphael &
Nesbary, 2005; Waugh & Manns, 1991) have noted this lack of required commun-
ication and writing courses in public administration curriculum. The majority of
administrative writing literature is from the late 1980s and early 1990s when
universities began implementing Writing Across the Curriculum programs (i.e.,
JPAE 19 (3), 515–536
516 Journal of Public Affairs Education
Londow, 1993; Stanford, 1992). The limited discussions and conclusions coincide
with private and public sector trends—newly hired students’ writing skills are
lacking (Hines & Basso, 2008; National Commission, 2005).
A survey by the National Commission on Writing for America’s Families,
Schools, and Colleges (2005) reported that approximately 80% of public sector
human resource directors seriously considered writing skills when hiring professional
employees and assumed new employees obtained these skills in college. Increasingly,
public managers require employees to attend writing and communication trainings,
which cost governments approximately $221 million annually (National Commis-
sion, 2005). In fact, the public sector (66%) is more likely to send professional/
salaried employees for writing training than the private sector (40%; National
Commission, 2005). Public, private, and nonprofit sector organizations certainly
should cont ...

The Tauber Manufacturing Institute (TMI) is a partnership between the engineering and business schools at
the University of Michigan. In the summer of 1999, a TMI team spent 14 weeks at Dell Inc. in Austin, Texas,
and developed an inventory model to identify inventory drivers and quantify target levels for inventory in the
final stage of Dell's supply chain, the revolvers or supplier logistics centers (SLC). With the information and
analysis provided by this model, Dell's regional materials organizations could tactically manage revolver inven
tory while Dell's worldwide commodity management could partner with suppliers in improvement projects to
identify inventory drivers and to reduce inventory. Dell also initiated a pilot program for procurement of XDX

It’s Your Choice 10 – Clear Values: 2nd Chain Link- Trade-offs - Best Chance of Getting the Most of What You Want.
Narrator: In today's episode, what do I really want? Roger and Nicole discussed the importance of being clear about your values when making a decision in order to give you the best chance of making the most of what you really want. When you understand what you care most about, you can determine which outcomes you prefer as a result of the decision. And, while we frequently can't get everything we want, making tradeoffs is easier when we are clear about our values. Roger: Nicole is something wrong? Nicole: Oh no, not really. I'm just kind of distracted today. See, I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy a car, but I'm having a lot of trouble deciding what to buy. I've been saving for years and I want to make sure I do this right. The problem is that I don't even know where to start. There are so many good cars out there. Roger: I know how tough it can be to try and figure out what you really want it, but you're in luck. On today's show, we're going to be talking about why being clear on your values is so important when making a decision. Nicole: A value is something you want as a result of the decision. Roger: Like when I was trying to decide which college to go to, some of my preferences were to go to a place with a good music program and a D-three basketball team. Nicole: It's funny because when I was looking for a school, I didn't care at all about the basketball team. I was much more interested in theater groups. Roger: and that's fine because values are completely up to the person making the decision. What I want will probably be different from what you want, but I use my values for my decisions and you will use yours for yours. Nicole: I was thinking about asking my friends for their opinions too. Roger: It can be very useful to get input from other people, especially when they're knowledgeable. Just be careful they don't try and talk you into what they want instead of what you wanted. Anyway, have you thought about the things you want the most from the car of your choice? Nicole: Oh sure. There are lots of things like I really want a car I can afford, that gets good gas mileage and is cute safe, a good size and comfortable for my friends. Roger: That's a good start. How about the things you don't want?
Nicole: Well, it has to be reliable. I'll be in a mess if it breaks down. I can't afford a lot of repair bills and I don't want a car that's too big. Roger: That's good. Identifying the things you don't want is just as important as the things you do want. Okay Nicole, now that we have your list, the next step is to ask yourself how important are these things?
Nicole: Well, they're all important.
Roger: Sure, but aren't some more important than others? Nicole: Of course, but I'm not really sure which or which? Roger: A good first step is to identify why something is important to you. For example, is getting good gas ...

Unit Lesson
When founders form companies, they usually focus on the product and the customers they hope to generate.
The founders are usually of the same mindset and intention about what they want their company to do and
how they would like it to grow. What many companies fail to plan for is the inevitable death of one of the
founding members and what that might mean for the vision and purpose of the company. In other words, what
would the management structure resemble if one of the founding partners had to deal with the heir of the
deceased partner?
For example, once, two middle-aged founders focused on the same mission, creating and living by their
cultural values and vision, diligently reaching out to their target market, and productively engaging their
customers. One partner unexpectedly died. After the funeral, the surviving founder finds himself now working
side-by-side with the recently deceased founder’s 17-year-old son or daughter. Very quickly, the surviving

Creativity for Innovation and SpeechmakingMattVassar1
Tapping into the creative side of your brain to come up with truly innovative approaches. These strategies are based on original research from Stanford University lecturer Matt Vassar, where he discusses how you can use them to come up with truly innovative solutions, regardless of whether you're using to come up with a creative and memorable angle for a business pitch--or if you're coming up with business or technical innovations.
Cross-Cultural Leadership and CommunicationMattVassar1
Business is done in many different ways across the world. How you connect with colleagues and communicate feedback constructively differs tremendously depending on where a person comes from. Drawing on the culture map from the cultural anthropologist, Erin Meyer, this class discusses how best to manage effectively across the invisible lines of culture.

What is the National Incident Management System?
• Comprehensive, nationwide systematic approach to incident
management
• Core set of doctrine, concepts, principles, terminology and
organizational processes for
all hazards
• Essential principles for a common operating picture and
interoperability of
communications and information management
• Standardized resource management procedures for
coordination among different
jurisdictions and organizations
• Scalable and applicable for all incidents
Key benefits of NIMS
• Enhances organizational and technological interoperability
and cooperation
2. • Provides a scalable and flexible framework with universal
applicability
• Promotes all-hazards preparedness
• Enables a wide variety of organizations to participate
effectively in emergency
management/incident response
• Institutionalizes professional emergency management/incident
response practices
NIMS Audience:
NIMS is applicable to all incidents and all levels of
stakeholders, including levels of
government, private sector organizations, critical infrastructure
owners and operators,
nongovernmental organizations and all other organizations who
assume a role in emergency
management. Elected and appointed officials and policy makers,
who are responsible for
jurisdictional policy decisions, must also have a clear
understanding of NIMS to better serve
their constituency.
NIMS Components:
Built on existing structures, such as the Incident Command
System (ICS), NIMS creates a
proactive system to assist those responding to incidents or
planned events. To unite the
practice of emergency management and incident response
throughout the country, NIMS
focuses on five key areas, or components. These components
link together and work in unison
to form a larger and comprehensive incident management
system.
3. NIMS Components include:
• Preparedness
• Communications and Information Management
• Resource Management
• Command and Management
• Ongoing Management and Maintenance

What NIMS is NOT
For further information on the NIMS see the DHS/FEMA
website at www.fema.gov/nims.
• A response plan
• Only used during large-scale incidents
• Only applicable to certain emergency management/incident
response personnel
• Only the Incident Command System (ICS) or an organizational

INTRODUCTION. A hurricane blasts through South Florida
causing
more than $25 billion in damages.
A fire at a food processing plant results in 25 deaths, a company
out of
business and a small town devastated.
A bombing in the World Trade Center results in six deaths,
hundreds of injuries
and the evacuation of 40,000 people.
A blizzard shuts down much of the East Coast for days. More
than 150 lives are
lost and millions of dollars in damages incurred.
INTRODUCTION
Every year emergencies take
their toll on business and industry
— in lives and dollars. But some-
thing can be done. Business and
industry can limit injuries and
damages and return more quickly
to normal operations if they plan
ahead.
39. About This Guide
This guide provides step-by-
step advice on how to create and
maintain a comprehensive emer-
gency management program. It
can be used by manufacturers, cor-
porate offices, retailers, utilities or
any organization where a sizable
number of people work or gather.
Whether you operate from a
high-rise building or an industrial
complex; whether you own, rent
or lease your property; whether
you are a large or small company;
the concepts in this guide will
apply.
To begin, you need not have
in-depth knowledge of emergency
management. What you need is
the authority to create a plan and
a commitment from the chief
executive officer to make emer-
gency management part of your
corporate culture.
If you already have a plan, use
this guide as a resource to assess
and update your plan.
The guide is organized as follows:
Section 1: 4 Steps in the
Planning Process — how to form a
40. planning team; how to conduct a
vulnerability analysis; how to
develop a plan; and how to imple-
ment the plan. The information
can be applied to virtually any type
of business or industry.
Section 2: Emergency Management
Considerations — how to build
such emergency management
capabilities as life safety, property
protection, communications and
community outreach.
Section 3: Hazard-Specific
Information — technical informa-
tion about specific hazards your
facility may face.
Section 4: Information Sources
— where to turn for additional
information.
What Is an Emergency?
An emergency is any un-
planned event that can cause
deaths or significant injuries to
employees, customers or the
public; or that can shut down your
business, disrupt operations, cause
physical or environmental
damage, or threaten the facility’s
financial standing or public image.

41. Obviously, numerous events can
be “emergencies,” including:
• Fire
• Hazardous materials incident
• Flood or flash flood
• Hurricane
• Tornado
• Winter storm
• Earthquake
• Communications failure
• Radiological accident
• Civil disturbance
• Loss of key supplier or customer
• Explosion
The term “disaster” has been
left out of this document because
it lends itself to a preconceived
notion of a large-scale event, usu-
ally a “natural disaster.” In fact,
each event must be addressed
42. within the context of the impact it
has on the company and the com-
munity. What might constitute a
nuisance to a large industrial facil-
ity could be a “disaster” to a small
business.
What Is Emergency
Management?
Emergency management is the
process of preparing for, mitigat-
ing, responding to and recovering
from an emergency.
Emergency management is a
dynamic process. Planning,
though critical, is not the only
component. Training, conducting
drills, testing equipment and coor-
dinating activities with the com-
munity are other important func-
tions.
Making the “Case”
for Emergency
Management
To be successful, emergency
management requires upper
management support. The chief
executive sets the tone by autho-
rizing planning to take place and
directing senior management to
get involved.
43. When presenting the “case” for
emergency management, avoid
dwelling on the negative effects
of an emergency (e.g., deaths,
fines, criminal prosecution) and
emphasize the positive aspects of
preparedness. For example:
• It helps companies fulfill their
moral responsibility to protect
employees, the community and
the environment.
• It facilitates compliance with
regulatory requirements of
Federal, State and local agencies.
• It enhances a company’s ability
to recover from financial losses,
regulatory fines, loss of market
share, damages to equipment
or products or business interrup-
tion.
• It reduces exposure to civil or
criminal liability in the event of
an incident.
• It enhances a company’s image
and credibility with employees,
customers, suppliers and the
community.
• It may reduce your insurance
premiums.

4 STEPS IN THE PLANNING PROCESS
1
SECTION
Here’s one example of a planning team.
Form the Team
The size of the planning team
will depend on the facility’s opera-
tions, requirements and resources.
Usually involving a group of
people is best because:
45. • It encourages participation and
gets more people invested in
the process.
• It increases the amount of time
and energy participants are able
to give.
• It enhances the visibility and
stature of the planning process.
• It provides for a broad perspec-
tive on the issues.
Determine who can be an
active member and who can serve
in an advisory capacity. In most
cases, one or two people will be
doing the bulk of the work. At
the very least, you should obtain
input from all functional areas.
Remember:
• Upper management
• Line management
• Labor
• Human Resources
• Engineering and maintenance
• Safety, health and environmen-
tal affairs
46. • Public information officer
• Security
• Community relations
• Sales and marketing
• Legal
• Finance and purchasing
Have participants appointed in
writing by upper management.
Their job descriptions could
also reflect this assignment.
ESTABLISH A PLANNING TEAM. There must be an
individual
or group in charge of developing the emergency management
plan. The follow-
ing is guidance for making the appointment.

Establish a Schedule
and Budget
Establish a work schedule and
planning deadlines. Timelines
can be modified as priorities
become more clearly defined.
49. Develop an initial budget for
such things as research, printing,
seminars, consulting services and
other expenses that may be neces-
sary during the development
process.
Establish Authority
Demonstrate management’s
commitment and promote an
atmosphere of cooperation by
“authorizing” the planning group
to take the steps necessary to
develop a plan. The group should
be led by the chief executive or
the plant manager.
Establish a clear line of authori-
ty between group members and
the group leader, though not so
rigid as to prevent the free flow of
ideas.
Issue a Mission
Statement
Have the chief executive or
plant manager issue a mission
statement to demonstrate the
company’s commitment to emer-
gency management. The state-
ment should:
• Define the purpose of the plan
50. and indicate that it will involve
the entire organization
• Define the authority and struc-
ture of the planning group
Review Internal Plans
and Policies
Documents to look for include:
• Evacuation plan
• Fire protection plan
• Safety and health program
• Environmental policies
• Security procedures
• Insurance programs
• Finance and purchasing
procedures
• Plant closing policy
• Employee manuals
• Hazardous materials plan
• Process safety assessment
51. • Risk management plan
• Capital improvement program
• Mutual aid agreements
Meet with Outside
Groups
Meet with government agen-
cies, community organizations and
utilities. Ask about potential
emergencies and about plans and
available resources for responding
to them. Sources of information
include:
• Community emergency
management office
• Mayor or Community
Administrator’s office
• Local Emergency Planning
Committee (LEPC)
• Fire Department
• Police Department
• Emergency Medical Services
organizations
• American Red Cross
• National Weather Service
52. • Public Works Department
• Planning Commission
• Telephone companies
• Electric utilities
• Neighboring businesses
ANALYZE CAPABILITIES AND HAZARDS. This step
entails gathering information about current capabilities and
about possible
hazards and emergencies, and then conducting a vulnerability
analysis to
determine the facility’s capabilities for handling emergencies.

ANALYZE
CAPABILITIES
AND HAZARDS
PAGE 11
WHERE DO YOU STAND RIGHT NOW?
While researching potential emer-
gencies, one facility discovered that
a dam — 50 miles away — posed a
53. threat to its community. The facili-
ty was able to plan accordingly.
PAGE 12
Identify Internal
Resources and
Capabilities
Resources and capabilities that
could be needed in an emergency
include:
• Personnel — fire brigade, haz-
ardous materials response team,
emergency medical services,
security, emergency manage-
ment group, evacuation team,
public information officer
• Equipment — fire protection
and suppression equipment,
communications equipment,
first aid supplies, emergency
supplies, warning systems,
emergency power equipment,
decontamination equipment
• Facilities — emergency operat-
ing center, media briefing area,
shelter areas, first-aid stations,
sanitation facilities
• Organizational capabilities —
54. training, evacuation plan,
employee support system
• Backup systems — arrange-
ments with other facilities to
provide for:
◆ Payroll
◆ Communications
◆ Production
◆ Customer services
◆ Shipping and receiving
◆ Information systems support
◆ Emergency power
◆ Recovery support
Identify Codes and
Regulations
Identify applicable Federal,
State and local regulations such
as:
• Occupational safety and health
regulations
• Environmental regulations
• Fire codes
• Seismic safety codes
• Transportation regulations
• Zoning regulations
• Corporate policies
55. Identify Critical
Products, Services
and Operations
You’ll need this information to
assess the impact of potential
emergencies and to determine the
need for backup systems. Areas to
review include:
• Company products and services
and the facilities and equip-
ment needed to produce them
• Products and services provided
by suppliers, especially sole
source vendors
• Lifeline services such as electri-
cal power, water, sewer, gas,
telecommunications and trans-
portation
• Operations, equipment and
personnel vital to the contin-
ued functioning of the facility
One way to increase response
capabilities is to identify employee
skills (medical, engineering,
communications, foreign lan -
guage) that might be needed in an
emergency.
56. Identify External
Resources
There are many external
resources that could be needed in
an emergency. In some cases, for-
mal agreements may be necessary
to define the facility’s relationship
with the following:
• Local emergency management
office
• Fire Department
• Hazardous materials response
organization
• Emergency medical services
• Hospitals
• Local and State police
• Community service organiza-
tions
• Utilities
• Contractors
• Suppliers of emergency
equipment
• Insurance carriers
57. PAGE 13
Do an Insurance
Review
Meet with insurance carriers to
review all policies. (See Section 2:
Recovery and Restoration.)
PAGE 14
CONDUCT A VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS
• Geographic — What can hap-
pen as a result of the facility’s
location? Keep in mind:
◆ Proximity to flood plains,
seismic faults and dams
◆ Proximity to companies that
produce, store, use or trans-
port hazardous materials
◆ Proximity to major trans-
portation routes and airports
◆ Proximity to nuclear power
plants
•Technological — What could
result from a process or system
failure? Possibilities include:
58. ◆ Fire, explosion, hazardous
materials incident
◆ Safety system failure
◆ Telecommunications failure
◆ Computer system failure
◆ Power failure
◆ Heating/cooling system
failure
◆ Emergency notification
system failure
• Human Error — What emer-
gencies can be caused by
employee error? Are employees
trained to work safely? Do they
know what to do in an emer-
gency?
Human error is the single
largest cause of workplace
emergencies and can result
from:
◆ Poor training
◆ Poor maintenance
◆ Carelessness
◆ Misconduct
◆ Substance abuse
◆ Fatigue
The next step is to assess the
vulnerability of your facility —
the probability and potential
impact of each emergency. Use
59. the Vulnerability Analysis Chart
in the appendix section to guide
the process, which entails assign-
ing probabilities, estimating
impact and assessing resources,
using a numerical system. The
lower the score the better.
List Potential
Emergencies
In the first column of the chart,
list all emergencies that could
affect your facility, including those
identified by your local emergency
management office. Consider
both:
• Emergencies that could occur
within your facility
• Emergencies that could occur
in your community
Below are some other factors to
consider.
• Historical — What types of
emergencies have occurred in
the community, at this facility
and at other facilities in the
area?
◆ Fires
◆ Severe weather
◆ Hazardous material spills
◆ Transportation accidents
60. ◆ Earthquakes
◆ Hurricanes
◆ Tornadoes
◆ Terrorism
◆ Utility outages
• Physical — What types of
emergencies could result from
the design or construction of
the facility? Does the physical
facility enhance safety?
Consider:
◆ The physical construction of
the facility
◆ Hazardous processes or
byproducts
◆ Facilities for storing com-
bustibles
◆ Layout of equipment
◆ Lighting
◆ Evacuation routes and exits
◆ Proximity of shelter areas
• Regulatory — What emergen-
cies or hazards are you regulated
to deal with?
Analyze each potential emer-
gency from beginning to end.
Consider what could happen as a
result of:
61. ◆ Prohibited access to the
facility
◆ Loss of electric power
◆ Communication lines down
◆ Ruptured gas mains
◆ Water damage
◆ Smoke damage
◆ Structural damage
◆ Air or water contamination
◆ Explosion
◆ Building collapse
◆ Trapped persons
◆ Chemical release
Estimate Probability
In the Probability column, rate
the likelihood of each emergency’s
occurrence. This is a subjective
consideration, but useful nonethe-
less.
Use a simple scale of 1 to 5 with
1 as the lowest probability and 5 as
the highest.
Assess the Potential
Human Impact
Analyze the potential human
impact of each emergency — the
possibility of death or injury.
Assign a rating in the Human
62. Impact column of the
Vulnerability Analysis Chart. Use
a 1 to 5 scale with 1 as the lowest
impact and 5 as the highest.
Assess the Potential
Property Impact
Consider the potential property
for losses and damages. Again,
assign a rating in the Property
Impact column, 1 being the
lowest impact and 5 being the
highest. Consider:
• Cost to replace
• Cost to set up temporary
replacement
• Cost to repair

A bank’s vulnerability analysis
concluded that a “small” fire could
be as catastrophic to the business
as a computer system failure.
The planning group discovered
that bank employees did not know
how to use fire extinguishers, and
that the bank lacked any kind of
evacuation or emergency response
system.
A full-page chart is located in the Appendix
PAGE 16
If the answers are yes, move on
to the next assessment. If the
answers are no, identify what can
be done to correct the problem.
For example, you may need to:
• Develop additional emergency
procedures
64. • Conduct additional training
• Acquire additional equipment
• Establish mutual aid agree-
ments
• Establish agreements with
specialized contractors
Add the Columns
Total the scores for each emer-
gency. The lower the score the
better. While this is a subjective
rating, the comparisons will help
determine planning and resource
priorities — the subject of the
pages to follow.
Assess the Potential
Business Impact
Consider the potential loss of
market share. Assign a rating in
the Business Impact column.
Again, 1 is the lowest impact and
5 is the highest. Assess the
impact of:
• Business interruption
• Employees unable to report to
work
• Customers unable to reach
65. facility
• Company in violation of
contractual agreements
• Imposition of fines and
penalties or legal costs
• Interruption of critical supplies
• Interruption of product
distribution
Assess Internal and
External Resources
Next assess your resources and
ability to respond. Assign a score
to your Internal Resources and
External Resources. The lower
the score the better.
To help you do this, consider
each potential emergency from
beginning to end and each
resource that would be needed to
respond. For each emergency ask
these questions:
• Do we have the needed
resources and capabilities to
respond?
• Will external resources be able
to respond to us for this emer-
gency as quickly as we may
66. need them, or will they have
other priority areas to serve?
When assessing resources, remem-
ber that community emergency
workers — police, paramedics, fire-
fighters — will focus their response
where the need is greatest. Or they
may be victims themselves and
be unable to respond immediately.
That means response to your facili-
ty may be delayed.
Your plan should include the
following basic components.
Executive Summary
The executive summary gives
management a brief overview of:
• The purpose of the plan
• The facility’s emergency
management policy
• Authorities and responsibilities
of key personnel
• The types of emergencies that
could occur
• Where response operations will
be managed
67. Emergency
Management Elements
This section of the plan briefly
describes the facility’s approach to
the core elements of emergency
management, which are:
• Direction and control
• Communications
• Life safety
• Property protection
• Community outreach
• Recovery and restoration
• Administration and logistics
These elements, which are
described in detail in Section 2, are
the foundation for the emergency
procedures that your facility will
follow to protect personnel and
equipment and resume operations.
DEVELOP THE PLAN. You are now ready to develop an
emergency
management plan. This section describes how.
S T E P 3
68. DEVELOP
THE
PLAN
PAGE 17
PLAN COMPONENTS
Support Documents
Documents that could be
needed in an emergency include:
• Emergency call lists — lists
(wallet size if possible) of all
persons on and off site who
would be involved in respond-
ing to an emergency, their
responsibilities and their 24-
hour telephone numbers
• Building and site maps that
indicate:
◆ Utility shutoffs
◆ Water hydrants
◆ Water main valves
◆ Water lines
◆ Gas main valves
◆ Gas lines
◆ Electrical cutoffs
◆ Electrical substations
◆ Storm drains
69. ◆ Sewer lines
◆ Location of each building
(include name of building,
street name and number)
◆ Floor plans
◆ Alarm and enunciators
◆ Fire extinguishers
◆ Fire suppression systems
◆ Exits
◆ Stairways
◆ Designated escape routes
◆ Restricted areas
◆ Hazardous materials (includ-
ing cleaning supplies and
chemicals)
◆ High-value items
• Resource lists — lists of major
resources (equipment, supplies,
services) that could be needed
in an emergency; mutual aid
agreements with other compa-
nies and government agencies
Emergency Response
Procedures
The procedures spell out how
the facility will respond to emer-
gencies. Whenever possible,
develop them as a series of check-
lists that can be quickly accessed
70. by senior management, depart-
ment heads, response personnel
and employees.
Determine what actions would
be necessary to:
• Assess the situation
• Protect employees, customers,
visitors, equipment, vital
records and other assets, partic-
ularly during the first three days
• Get the business back up and
running
Specific procedures might be
needed for any number of situa-
tions such as bomb threats or tor-
nadoes, and for such functions as :
• Warning employees and
customers
• Communicating with personnel
and community responders
• Conducting an evacuation and
accounting for all persons in
the facility
• Managing response activities
• Activating and operating an
emergency operations center
71. • Fighting fires
• Shutting down operations
• Protecting vital records
• Restoring operations
PAGE 18
Some facilities are required to
develop:
■ Emergency escape procedures
and routes
■ Procedures for employees who
perform or shut down critical oper-
ations before an evacuation
■ Procedures to account for all
employees, visitors and contractors
after an evacuation is completed
■ Rescue and medical duties for
assigned employees
■ Procedures for reporting emer-
gencies
■ Names of persons or depart-
ments to be contacted for informa-
tion regarding the plan
In an emergency, all personnel
72. should know: 1. What is my role?
2. Where should I go?
The following is guidance for
developing the plan.
Identify Challenges
and Prioritize
Activities
Determine specific goals and
milestones. Make a list of tasks to
be performed, by whom and when.
Determine how you will address
the problem areas and resource
shortfalls that were identified in
the vulnerability analysis.
Write the Plan
Assign each member of the
planning group a section to write.
Determine the most appropriate
format for each section.
Establish an aggressive timeline
with specific goals. Provide
enough time for completion of
work, but not so much as to allow
assignments to linger. Establish a
schedule for:
• First draft
73. • Review
• Second draft
• Tabletop exercise
• Final draft
• Printing
• Distribution
Establish a Training
Schedule
Have one person or department
responsible for developing a train-
ing schedule for your facility. For
specific ideas about training, refer
to Step 4.
Coordinate with
Outside Organizations
Meet periodically with local
government agencies and commu-
nity organizations. Inform appro-
priate government agencies that
you are creating an emergency
management plan. While their
official approval may not be
required, they will likely have
valuable insights and information
to offer.
Determine State and local
74. requirements for reporting emer-
gencies, and incorporate them
into your procedures.
Determine protocols for turn-
ing control of a response over to
outside agencies. Some details
that may need to be worked out
are:
• Which gate or entrance will
responding units use?
• Where and to whom will they
report?
• How will they be identified?
• How will facility personnel
communicate with outside
responders?
• Who will be in charge of
response activities?
Determine what kind of identi-
fication authorities will require to
allow your key personnel into your
facility during an emergency.
PAGE 19
THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
Your emergency planning priori-
ties may be influenced by govern-
75. ment regulation. To remain in
compliance you may be required
to address specific emergency
management functions that might
otherwise be a lower priority
activity for that given year.
Determine the needs of disabled
persons and non-English-speaking
personnel. For example, a blind
employee could be assigned a
partner in case an evacuation is
necessary.
The Americans with Disabilities
Act (ADA) defines a disabled
person as anyone who has a physi-
cal or mental impairment that
substantially limits one or more
major life activities, such as see-
ing, hearing, walking, breathing,
performing manual tasks, learn-
ing, caring for oneself or working.
PAGE 20
Seek Final Approval
Arrange a briefing for the chief
executive officer and senior man-
agement and obtain written
approval.
Distribute the Plan
76. Place the final plan in three-
ring binders and number all copies
and pages. Each individual who
receives a copy should be required
to sign for it and be responsible for
posting subsequent changes.
Determine which sections of
the plan would be appropriate to
show to government agencies
(some sections may refer to corpo-
rate secrets or include private list-
ings of names, telephone numbers
or radio frequencies).
Distribute the final plan to:
• Chief executive and senior
managers
• Key members of the company’s
emergency response organiza-
tion
• Company headquarters
• Community emergency
response agencies (appropriate
sections)
Have key personnel keep a
copy of the plan in their homes.
Inform employees about the
plan and training schedule.
77. Maintain Contact with
Other Corporate
Offices
Communicate with other
offices and divisions in your com-
pany to learn:
• Their emergency notification
requirements
• The conditions where mutual
assistance would be necessary
• How offices will support each
other in an emergency
• Names, telephone numbers and
pager numbers of key personnel
Incorporate this information
into your procedures.
Review, Conduct
Training and Revise
Distribute the first draft to
group members for review. Revise
as needed.
For a second review, conduct a
tabletop exercise with manage-
ment and personnel who have a
key emergency management
responsibility. In a conference
78. room setting, describe an emer-
gency scenario and have partici-
pants discuss their responsibilities
and how they would react to the
situation. Based on this discus-
sion, identify areas of confusion
and overlap, and modify the plan
accordingly.
Consolidate emergency plans for
better coordination. Stand-alone
plans, such as a Spill Prevention
Control and Countermeasures
(SPCC) plan, fire protection plan
or safety and health plan, should
be incorporated into one compre-
hensive plan.
Emergency planning must
become part of the corporate
culture.
Look for opportunities to build
awareness; to educate and train
personnel; to test procedures; to
involve all levels of management,
all departments and the communi-
ty in the planning process; and to
make emergency management
part of what personnel do on a
day-to-day basis.
Test how completely the plan
has been integrated by asking:
79. • How well does senior manage-
ment support the responsibili-
ties outlined in the plan?
• Have emergency planning con-
cepts been fully incorporated
into the facility’s accounting,
personnel and financial proce-
dures?
• How can the facility’s processes
for evaluating employees and
defining job classifications bet-
ter address emergency manage-
ment responsibilities?
• Are there opportunities for dis-
tributing emergency prepared-
ness information through cor-
porate newsletters, employee
manuals or employee mailings?
• What kinds of safety posters or
other visible reminders would
be helpful?
• Do personnel know what they
should do in an emergency?
• How can all levels of the orga-
nization be involved in evaluat-
ing and updating the plan?
IMPLEMENT THE PLAN. Implementation means more than
simply
80. exercising the plan during an emergency. It means acting on
recommendations
made during the vulnerability analysis, integrating the plan into
company oper-
ations, training employees and evaluating the plan.

Training Activities
Training can take many forms:
• Orientation and Education
Sessions — These are regularly
scheduled discussion sessions to
provide information, answer
questions and identify needs
and concerns.
81. • Tabletop Exercise — Members
of the emergency management
group meet in a conference
room setting to discuss their
responsibilities and how they
would react to emergency sce-
narios. This is a cost-effective
and efficient way to identify
areas of overlap and confusion
before conducting more
demanding training activities.
• Walk-through Drill — The
emergency management group
and response teams actually
perform their emergency
response functions. This activ-
ity generally involves more
people and is more thorough
than a tabletop exercise.
• Functional Drills — These
drills test specific functions
such as medical response, emer-
gency notifications, warning
and communications proce-
dures and equipment, though
not necessarily at the same
time. Personnel are asked to
evaluate the systems and iden-
tify problem areas.
Everyone who works at or visits
the facility requires some form of
training. This could include peri-
odic employee discussion sessions
82. to review procedures, technical
training in equipment use for
emergency responders, evacuation
drills and full-scale exercises.
Below are basic considerations for
developing a training plan.
Planning
Considerations
Assign responsibility for devel-
oping a training plan. Consider
the training and information
needs for employees, contractors,
visitors, managers and those with
an emergency response role iden-
tified in the plan.
Determine for a 12 month
period:
• Who will be trained
• Who will do the training
• What training activities will be
used
• When and where each session
will take place
• How the session will be evalu-
ated and documented
Use the Training Drills and
Exercises Chart in the appendix
83. section to schedule training activ-
ities or create one of your own.
Consider how to involve com-
munity responders in training
activities.
Conduct reviews after each
training activity. Involve both
personnel and community respon-
ders in the evaluation process.
CONDUCT TRAINING
• Evacuation Drill — Personnel
walk the evacuation route to a
designated area where proce-
dures for accounting for all per-
sonnel are tested. Participants
are asked to make notes as they
go along of what might become
a hazard during an emergency,
e.g., stairways cluttered with
debris, smoke in the hallways.
Plans are modified accordingly.
• Full-scale Exercise — A real-
life emergency situation is
simulated as closely as possible.
This exercise involves company
emergency response personnel,
employees, management and
community response organizations.
84. Employee Training
General training for all employ-
ees should address:
• Individual roles and responsi-
bilities
• Information about threats,
hazards and protective actions
• Notification, warning and com-
munications procedures
• Means for locating family
members in an emergency
• Emergency response procedures
• Evacuation, shelter and
accountability procedures
• Location and use of common
emergency equipment
• Emergency shutdown
procedures
The scenarios developed during
the vulnerability analysis can
serve as the basis for training
events.

PAGE 24
In addition to a yearly audit,
evaluate and modify the plan at
these times:
• After each training drill or
exercise
• After each emergency
88. • When personnel or their
responsibilities change
• When the layout or design of
the facility changes
• When policies or procedures
change
Remember to brief personnel
on changes to the plan.
Conduct a formal audit of the
entire plan at least once a year.
Among the issues to consider are:
• How can you involve all levels
of management in evaluating
and updating the plan?
• Are the problem areas and
resource shortfalls identified in
the vulnerability analysis being
sufficiently addressed?
• Does the plan reflect lessons
learned from drills and actual
events?
• Do members of the emergency
management group and emer-
gency response team under-
stand their respective responsi-
bilities? Have new members
been trained?
89. • Does the plan reflect changes
in the physical layout of the
facility? Does it reflect new
facility processes?
• Are photographs and other
records of facility assets up to
date?
• Is the facility attaining its train-
ing objectives?
• Have the hazards in the facility
changed?
• Are the names, titles and tele-
phone numbers in the plan
current?
• Are steps being taken to incor-
porate emergency management
into other facility processes?
• Have community agencies and
organizations been briefed on
the plan? Are they involved in
evaluating the plan?
When siting a new location, con-
duct a hazard analysis of the area.
Modify your plan when a new site
becomes operable.

DIRECTION AND CONTROL. Someone must be in charge in
an emer-

information and making
91. decisions in an emergency is called direction and control.
The direction and control system described below assumes a
facility of
sufficient size. Your facility may require a less sophisticated
system, though
the principles described here will still apply.
The configuration of your sys-
tem will depend on many factors.
Larger industries may have their
own fire team, emergency medical
technicians or hazardous materials
team, while smaller organizations
may need to rely on mutual aid
agreements. They may also be
able to consolidate positions or
combine responsibilities. Tenants
of office buildings or industrial
parks may be part of an emergency
management program for the
entire facility.
Emergency
Management Group
(EMG)
The EMG is the team responsi-
ble for the big picture. It controls
all incident-related activities.
The Incident Commander (IC)
oversees the technical aspects of
the response.
92. The EMG supports the IC by
allocating resources and by inter-
facing with the community, the
media, outside response organiza-
tions and regulatory agencies.
The EMG is headed by the
Emergency Director (ED), who
should be the facility manager.
The ED is in command and con-
trol of all aspects of the emer-
gency. Other EMG members
should be senior managers who
have the authority to:
• Determine the short- and long-
term effects of an emergency
• Order the evacuation or
shutdown of the facility
• Interface with outside organiza-
tions and the media
• Issue press releases
The relationship between the
EMG and the IC is shown in

Incident Command
System (ICS)
The ICS was developed specifi-
cally for the fire service, but its
principles can be applied to all
emergencies. The ICS provides
for coordinated response and a
clear chain of command and safe
operations.
The Incident Commander (IC)
is responsible for front-line man-
agement of the incident, for tacti-
cal planning and execution, for
determining whether outside assis-
tance is needed and for relaying
requests for internal resources or
outside assistance through the
Emergency Operations Center
(EOC).
The IC can be any employee,
but a member of management
with the authority to make deci-
sions is usually the best choice.
The IC must have the capabili-
96. ty and authority to:
• Assume command
• Assess the situation
• Implement the emergency
management plan
• Determine response strategies
• Activate resources
• Order an evacuation
• Oversee all incident response
activities
• Declare that the incident is “over”
Emergency Operations
Center (EOC)
The EOC serves as a central-
ized management center for emer-
gency operations. Here, decisions
are made by the EMG based upon
information provided by the IC
and other personnel. Regardless
of size or process, every facility
should designate an area where
decision makers can gather during
an emergency.
The EOC should be located in
an area of the facility not likely to
be involved in an incident, per-
haps the security department, the
manager’s office, a conference
room or the training center. An
alternate EOC should be designat-
97. ed in the event that the primary
location is not usable.
Each facility must determine its
requirements for an EOC based
upon the functions to be per-
formed and the number of people
involved. Ideally, the EOC is a
dedicated area equipped with
communications equipment, refer-
ence materials, activity logs and
all the tools necessary to respond
quickly and appropriately to an
emergency.
EOC Resources:
■ Communications equipment
■ A copy of the emergency
management plan and EOC
procedures
■ Blueprints, maps, status boards
■ A list of EOC personnel and
descriptions of their duties
■ Technical information and data
for advising responders
■ Building security system
information
■ Information and data manage-
ment capabilities
98. ■ Telephone directories
■ Backup power, communica-
tions and lighting
■ Emergency supplies
In a hazardous materials accident,
an off-site medic was exposed to
the spilled material and required
hospitalization. It was determined
that the person was able to enter
the hazardous area unprotected
because no one among a host of
managers and facility responders
was “in charge” at the scene.

Planning
Considerations
To develop a direction and
control system:
• Define the duties of personnel
with an assigned role. Establish
procedures for each position.
Prepare checklists for all proce-
dures.
• Define procedures and respon-
sibilities for fire fighting, med-
99. ical and health, and engineer-
ing.
• Determine lines of succession
to ensure continuous leader-
ship, authority and responsibili-
ty in key positions.
• Determine equipment and sup-
ply needs for each response
function.
• At a minimum, assign all
personnel responsibility for:
◆Recognizing and reporting an
emergency
◆Warning other employees in
the area
◆Taking security and safety
measures
◆Evacuating safely
• Provide training.
Security
Isolation of the incident scene
must begin when the emergency is
discovered. If possible, the discov-
erer should attempt to secure the
scene and control access, but no
one should be placed in physical
danger to perform these functions.
100. Basic security measures include:
• Closing doors or windows
• Establishing temporary barriers
with furniture after people have
safely evacuated
• Dropping containment materi-
als (sorbent pads, etc.) in the
path of leaking materials
• Closing file cabinets or desk
drawers
Only trained personnel should
be allowed to perform advanced
security measures. Access to the
facility, the EOC and the incident
scene should be limited to persons
directly involved in the response.
Coordination of
Outside Response
In some cases, laws, codes, prior
agreements or the very nature of
the emergency require the IC to
turn operations over to an outside
response organization.
When this happens, the proto-
cols established between the facili-
ty and outside response organiza-
tions are implemented. The facili-
101. ty’s IC provides the community’s
IC a complete report on the
situation.
The facility IC keeps track of
which organizations are on-site
and how the response is being
coordinated. This helps increase
personnel safety and accountabili-
ty, and prevents duplication of
effort.
Keep detailed logs of actions
taken during an emergency.
Describe what happened, deci-
sions made and any deviations
from policy. Log the time for
each event.

o n s a r e e s s e n t i a l t o a n y
business operation. A communications failure can be a disaster
in itself,
cutting off vital business activities.
Communications are needed to report emergencies, to warn
personnel of the
102. danger, to keep families and off-duty employees informed about
what’s happen-
ing at the facility to coordinate response actions and to keep in
contact with
customers and suppliers.
Contingency Planning
Plan for all possible contingen-
cies from a temporary or short-
term disruption to a total commu-
nications failure.
• Consider the everyday func-
tions performed by your facility
and the communications, both
voice and data, used to support
them.
• Consider the business impact if
your communications were
inoperable. How would this
impact your emergency opera-
tions?
• Prioritize all facility communi-
cations. Determine which
should be restored first in an
emergency.
• Establish procedures for restor-
ing communications systems.
• Talk to your communications
103. vendors about their emergency
response capabilities. Establish
procedures for restoring services.
• Determine needs for backup
communications for each busi-
ness function. Options include
messengers, telephones,
portable microwave, amateur
radios, point-to-point private
lines, satellite, high-frequency
radio.
Emergency
Communications
Consider the functions your
facility might need to perform in
an emergency and the communi-
cations systems needed to support
them.
Consider communications
between:
• Emergency responders
• Responders and the Incident
Commander (IC)
• The IC and the Emergency
Operations Center (EOC)
• The IC and employees
• The EOC and outside response
104. organizations
• The EOC and neighboring
businesses
• The EOC and employees’
families
• The EOC and customers
• The EOC and media
PAGE 32
Methods of communication
include:
• Messenger
• Telephone
• Two-way radio
• FAX machine
• Microwave
• Satellite
• Dial-up modems
• Local area networks
• Hand signals
105. Family
Communications
In an emergency, personnel will
need to know whether their fami-
lies are okay. Taking care of one’s
loved ones is always a first priority.
Make plans for communicating
with employees’ families in an
emergency.
Also, encourage employees to:
• Consider how they would com-
municate with their families in
case they are separated from
one another or injured in an
emergency.
• Arrange for an out-of-town
contact for all family members
to call in an emergency.
• Designate a place to meet fami-
ly members in case they cannot
get home in an emergency.
Notification
Establish procedures for
employees to report an emergency.
Inform employees of procedures.
Train personnel assigned specific
notification tasks.
106. Post emergency telephone
numbers near each telephone, on
employee bulletin boards and in
other prominent locations.
Maintain an updated list of
addresses and telephone and pager
numbers of key emergency
response personnel (from within
and outside the facility).
Listen for tornado, hurricane
and other severe weather warnings
issued by the National Weather
Service.
Determine government agen-
cies’ notification requirements in
advance. Notification must be
made immediately to local gov-
ernment agencies when an emer-
gency has the potential to affect
public health and safety.
Prepare announcements that
could be made over public address
systems.
Warning
Establish a system for warning
personnel of an emergency. The
system should:
• Be audible or within view by all
107. people in the facility
• Have an auxiliary power supply
• Have a distinct and recogniz-
able signal
Make plans for warning persons
with disabilities. For instance, a
flashing strobe light can be used
to warn hearing-impaired people.
Familiarize personnel with
procedures for responding when
the warning system is activated.
Establish procedures for
warning customers, contractors,
visitors and others who may not
be familiar with the facility’s
warning system.
Test your facility’s warning
system at least monthly.
Test communications often. A
research firm discovered in a drill
that its two-way radio system did
not work, limiting communica-
tions between the Emergency
Operating Center (EOC) and the
Incident Commander (IC) to
a single telephone line. The
Emergency Management Group
had failed to provide a backup
radio for the EOC. Fortunately,
108. this was discovered during
training.
Test alarm systems monthly. One
company conducted its first test of
a sophisticated alarm system 21
years after the system was
installed. Rather than alarm bells,
the system played Christmas
music.
LIFE SAFETY. Protecting the health and safety of everyone in
the
facility is the first priority during an emergency.

FUNCTION
Evacuation Planning
One common means of protec-
tion is evacuation. In the case of
fire, an immediate evacuation to a
predetermined area away from the
facility may be necessary. In a
hurricane, evacuation could
involve the entire community and
take place over a period of days.
109. To develop an evacuation poli-
cy and procedure:
• Determine the conditions
under which an evacuation
would be necessary.
• Establish a clear chain of com-
mand. Identify personnel with
the authority to order an evacu-
ation. Designate “evacuation
wardens” to assist others in an
evacuation and to account for
personnel.
• Establish specific evacuation
procedures. Establish a system
for accounting for personnel.
Consider employees’ trans-
portation needs for community-
wide evacuations.
• Establish procedures for assist-
ing persons with disabilities and
those who do not speak
English.
• Post evacuation procedures.
• Designate personnel to contin-
ue or shut down critical opera-
tions while an evacuation is
underway. They must be capa-
ble of recognizing when to
abandon the operation and
evacuate themselves.
110. • Coordinate plans with the local
emergency management office.
Evacuation Routes and
Exits
Designate primary and sec-
ondary evacuation routes and
exits. Have them clearly marked
and well lit. Post signs.
Install emergency lighting in
case a power outage occurs during
an evacuation.
Ensure that evacuation routes
and emergency exits are:
• Wide enough to accommodate
the number of evacuating
personnel
• Clear and unobstructed at all
times
• Unlikely to expose evacuating
personnel to additional hazards
Have evacuation routes evalu-
ated by someone not in your
organization.
Consider how you would access
important personal information
about employees (home phone,
111. next-of-kin, medical) in an emer-
gency. Storing information on
computer disks or in sealed
envelopes are two options.
PAGE 34
Assembly Areas and
Accountability
Obtaining an accurate account
of personnel after a site evacua-
tion requires planning and
practice.
• Designate assembly areas where
personnel should gather after
evacuating.
• Take a head count after the
evacuation. The names and
last known locations of person-
nel not accounted for should be
determined and given to the
EOC. (Confusion in the
assembly areas can lead to
unnecessary and dangerous
search and rescue operations.)
• Establish a method for account-
ing for non-employees such as
suppliers and customers.
• Establish procedures for further
