Today marks the start of National Preparedness Month! Whether your company already has business continuity plans and preparedness initiatives in place or whether you’re starting from scratch, National Preparedness Month (NPM) provides the perfect opportunity to promote emergency preparedness within your organization. Here is our list of five ways to take the initiative:
- Post helpful crisis response tips in your company’s newsletter and on breakroom bulletin boards.
- Ask employees to familiarize themselves with your organization’s business continuity and emergency response plans – make sure these are posted on your intranet or preparedness portal.
- Host a CPR training session or blood drive.
- Distribute copies of this Ready.gov family emergency plan template to employees in your next staff meeting.
- Become an NPM Coalition Member (it’s free) and pledge to do some kind of preparedness activity during September.
