U.S. Department of Homeland Security initiatives, changes to codes and standards, and recognized best practices have led to new responsibilities and greater accountability for business organizations today.
Emergency management involves prevention, preparation, mitigation, response and recovery from unwanted events. The tragedy of 9/11, Hurricane Katrina and other disasters confirm the lack of public and private sector emergency preparedness and the inability of some to manage such emergencies. Effective corporate and supply chain preparedness can help mitigate the impact of any disaster on people, property and the economy.
KCI Protection Technologies’ all hazards approach to emergency management consists of helping public and private sector clients create emergency management programs that reduce vulnerability, deter threats and minimize the consequences of catastrophic events and other incidents. Maintaining business resiliency through proper emergency management planning is critical to stakeholders, customers, employees, and supply chains, and is particularly impacting if supportive of existing legislation.
Organizations that plan now may save money later by avoiding tragic losses that could destroy or severely cripple their operations.
