  • Disaster Preparedness Assistance/Recovery

    An ERP guides an organization's actions in the initial minutes of an emergency. The goal of the emergency response plan is to ensure the safety of staff and clients and the security of property in the event of an emergency/disaster. An emergency response plan details the immediate actions to take to protect lives, avoid injuries, and stabilize the incident. These goals ensure that the Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) can be put into practice. The ERP identifies the threats that are most likely in your community (such as hurricanes, tornadoes, blackouts, cyberattacks, terrorist attacks), specifies measures and equipment to address specific emergencies, and spells out emergency procedures for the disaster event
