HOW PREPARED ARE YOU FOR AN UNPLANNED EVENT?
If you’ve been questioning your preparedness in the event of an unplanned emergency, you’re not alone. The truth is, many organizations think about these things in passing, but fail to proactively create a plan of action should an emergency occur.
An all-hazards plan requires taking an objective look at your business and assessing how vulnerable it is to specific threats.
A few items that may make your shortlist are natural disasters, a pandemic, or cyber threats. If you want to see how prepared you are, take this quiz to determine your understanding of unplanned emergencies.
CHUG UPDATES: According to OSHA’s guidance, how well you navigate unplanned incidents hinges on how well you’ve prepared in advance.
