PrintDisasters are a function of natural forces, accidents, or intentional hostile acts. The Employer's Guide to Disaster Readiness and Recovery designed as a business continuity how-to book; it provides step-by-step processes and tools that take a business through preparing for a disaster to implementing a business recovery. The Guide helps an employer prepare its organization - leaders, managers, and employees - for the challenges of a catastrophic event.
The Guide addresses four major areas of concern for a business: protecting people, protecting business assets, business continuity, and legal compliance. It provides a comprehensive disaster planning guide in a single, easy-to-use volume, including more than 40 checklists and 6 sample safety plans (both print and CD), as well as numerous tip sheets, action lists, and worksheets.
This 2nd Edition of the Employer's Guide to Disaster Readiness and Recovery includes discussion of these and other current topics:
- New sections on the National Response Framework adopted by the Department of Homeland Security in 2008
- Discussion of new federal law on voluntary preparedness standards for the private sector
- Expanded discussion of disaster aid programs to help business recovery efforts
- New sections on the Environmental Protection Agency's role in disaster readiness and recovery
- New Sample Emergency Guidelines for Employees, plus a new section on protecting hard-copy business records
- A CD containing the sample plans found in the Guide that allows users to modify, save, and print each plan using Microsoft Word®
- Updated chart of state laws requiring leave for volunteer emergency workers, and more
