FCCI Insurance Group

FCCI continues our message mid-way through NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS MONTH, focusing on emergency planning. The process for creating a business’s emergency preparedness plans should encompass what a business will need before, during and after a natural or manufactured emergency. These plans should include: 1. BUSINESS CONTINUITY - Organize a business continuity team and compile a business continuity plan to manage a business disruption. 2. CRISIS COMMUNICATION - When an emergency occurs, the need to communicate is immediate. Customers will want to know how they will be affected; regulators and local government officials will need to be notified and employees and their families will be concerned and want information. Developing a plan in advance will let your business leaders respond to these communications needs promptly. 3. EMERGENCY RESPONSE - The actions taken in the initial minutes of an emergency are critical. Promptly warning employees to evacuate, shelter or lockdown can save lives. A call for help to public emergency services that provides full and accurate information will help the dispatcher send the right responders and equipment. Establishing an emergency response plan will save valuable minutes when an emergency happens. 4. IT DISASTER RECOVERY - Technology recovery strategies should be developed to restore hardware, applications and data in time to meet the needs of the business recovery. An information technology disaster recovery plan should be developed in conjunction with the business continuity plan.

September is NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS MONTH Since 2004, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Ready Campaign have promoted National Preparedness Month (NPM) every September. FEMA has defined a National Preparedness Goal for all types of disasters and emergencies. The goal is to be “a secure and resilient nation with the capabilities required across the whole community to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to and recover from the threats and hazards that pose the greatest risk.” These risks include natural hazards such as hurricanes and pandemic influenza, accidental hazards such as dam failures and chemical spills, and external threats such as acts of terrorism and cyber-attacks. The goal is organized into five components: 1. PREVENTION: Avoid, prevent or stop an imminent, threatened or actual act of terrorism. 2. PROTECTION: Protect our citizens, residents, visitors, assets, systems and networks against the greatest threats and hazards in a manner that allows our vital interests and way of life to thrive. 3. MITIGATION: Reduce the loss of life and property by lessening the impact of disasters. 4. RESPONSE: Respond quickly to save lives, protect property and the environment, and meet basic human needs in the aftermath of an incident. 5. RECOVERY: Assist communities affected by an incident to recover through a focus on the timely restoration, strengthening and revitalization of infrastructure, housing and the economy, as well as the health, social, cultural, historical and environmental fabric of communities affected by an incident.
