EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT

Disasters can occur quickly & without warning. It could force evacuation of your community or keep you in the workplace. What would you do if basic services – electricity, phone, water, and emergency help are cut-off or deployed to more critical places? In a major, wide ranging disaster, it might be several hours or days before critical emergency services are available.
An emergency response plan is just the beginning. Companies need to calculate the impact to workplace safety, the environment, the community and the company’s reputation.

Key strategies are always: protect people, protect the environment, and protect the business. Being prepared on all levels is crucial, so decision makers need to evaluate all three levels of Emergency Management. PTP has the experience to help you strategize in the following manner:
