Disaster Preparedness Part 3

It is time to sit down and list the types of disasters your business might be subject to, the probability of such a disaster, and predict the least and worst damage and disruption.

Can we predict every possibility? No. Many years ago a client had a semi truck drive through his front window and destroy his entire store. Who would have predicted that?

The beginning of preparedness is recognition. Consider:

Fire

Flood

Wind / Tornado

Hurricane

Earthquake

Bio or chem event (the refinery down the street springs a leak)

Power outages / surges / gas leaks

Fires in adjacent businesses

Active shooter in vicinity

Railroad derailments


Risk management is such a cheerful art and science. (?)

In the near future we discuss planning for potential threats.
