HAVING A PLAN FOR EVERYTHING IS NOT AS BENEFICIAL AS A CUSTOMIZED APPROACH
An all-hazards approach to emergency planning doesn’t mean having a plan for every possible disaster that could occur. It means assessing risk within an organization to create a customized, multi-faceted approach based on the probability of specific emergencies occurring.
It is important for organizations to be keenly aware of potential threats and to understand how strategic collaboration can be the key to having the best possible outcome.
”Consider preparing for disasters like having a toolbox. Having some tools is better than having no tools at all when something breaks. Ensuring that you have taken small steps to be prepared is much better than not having a plan at all.”
CHUG UPDATES: At CHUG, we closely follow the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC's) guidance on all things health, education, and disaster preparedness. Read the CDC’s guidance for an all-hazards approach to preparedness.
