Disaster Planning

Primary Purpose

The primary purpose of disaster planning is to provide for the safety of your employees

 and the public. Unfortunately, recent terrorists attacks including the rise of bio-terrorism

has brought the importance of this to the forefront. Secondly, disaster planning can

greatly enhance the survival of your business or organization by protecting your

assets as well as those of your clients.

Finally, disaster planning can speed up the process of resuming your operations, minimize financial loss and mitigate the impact of public relations damage following an emergency interruption of  your operations.

Formal disaster planning will help you identify what precautions and emergency procedures need to be in place should the worst happen. Possible emergency situations can arise from: fire, explosion, flood, earthquake, tornado, hurricane, snow, ice, hail, gas leaks, biological contamination, toxic chemical or hazardous material spills, loss of electrical power or water utilities, strikes, riots, terrorism, electronic data loss and electronic security risks.  

Northington Consulting can collaborate with industry specialists to assess your vulnerabilities, help write your plan, test it and assist in training your staff.  The first step in disaster planning is to make a commitment, if you do not have a written disaster plan document in place today, or if you need to update your current disaster plan please contact us.
