Deal with an emergency key steps
If you have drawn up a good business plan, it should detail: the
key business functions that you need to get up and running and
those members of staff who are responsible for implementing what
can be termed a crisis action plan. There are five basic
planks that need to be in place to ensure a good response.
- React within the first hour
- Ensure your employees use their training
- Circulate key contact details and preferred service
providers
- Ensure that your nominated Press and PR person is in place
within the first hour
- Distribute hard copies of your Business Continuity Plan to all
members of staff
