During a crisis, the flood of emotions and information can be overwhelming. People, whether directly or indirectly involved, seek clarity and reassurance in such times of uncertainty. This is where effective crisis communications become crucial.

Having an established IMS-based emergency management program can make all the difference in minimizing the impact of an incident and ensuring an effective and efficient recovery. In this blog, we'll explore how the Incident Management System (IMS) can help organizations maximize their response, ensure the health and safety of responders, and communicate effectively with staff, customers, community partners, government, and 9-1-1 Emergency Services.

How an organization manages an incident is often determined by its ability to achieve accurate and timely Situational Awareness.  Situational Awareness is a measure of how well the people in-charge understand what is happening as the incident evolves from the onset to the end when the All-Clear is given. It is imperative to understand the scope of an emergency to prioritize response objectives and ensure the effective and efficient use of resources. 

Natural disasters, severe weather, pandemics, and accidental and intentional human-made emergencies can disrupt business operations and cause significant losses. To minimize the impact of such events on business operations and ensure the health and safety of staff, organizations need to have an Emergency Management Program in place. This program should include measures to identify and mitigate hazards and threats and establish response plans to facilitate a quick recovery.

Natural and human-made emergencies can strike any organization at any time. Whether it's a pandemic, tornado, winter storm, cyber-attack, train derailment, fire, or an act of violence, the impact can be devastating if the organization is not adequately prepared. In this Blog, we will discuss how a Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA) can help organizations identify their risks to better prepare for disasters.
