Every business should develop and implement an emergency plan for protecting employees, visitors, contractors, and anyone who may be at your site. An emergency response plan enables businesses to plan for incident response and should be incorporated into their overall business continuity program. It should be drafted with roles, responsibilities, relevant contact information, and resources available. The plan should include a process for assessing damage, protecting property, and minimizing damage and business disruptions.
