Disaster! (preparedness)
Sep. 6th, 2005 02:42 pmI've been conscripted at work to develop a disaster preparedness plan.
I thought it was going to be a snap. Oh no, not even close.
It's complicated. Very complicated. There's actually official standards on this stuff (NFPA 1600), and there's so much to deal with. Accidents, incidents, disasters, fires, floods, earthquakes, storms, terrorists, HazMat, explosions, riots, tsunami, landslides, plagues....
Doesn't help that company employees are scattered across 5 counties. And then there's the fact that this is a construction company; we need to be up and running ASAP after a major disaster.
This is gonna take some work....
