Earthquakes, floods, storms and volcanic eruptions all have one thing in common: the potential to ruin everything we have worked for – homes, treasured possessions and possibly the loss of a loved one. Disasters happen quickly and without compassion. We can't prevent disasters but we can all take simple steps to reduce the impact, and be better prepared to recover quickly.

How to be prepared at Work.

1.      It is not an option to be unprepared. Disasters do happen, but you can 'make the mess less' and hasten a return to normalcy through prior planning and committing to mitigation and preparedness activity.

2.      Risk assessment must consider risks posed by external factors; particularly interdependencies or out-sourced services/arrangements.

3.      Business continuity must protect business asssets - staff, equipment, facilities, IT systems, reputation, market-share, liquidity, etc.

4.      Business continuity must protect both internal and external service capability, particularly in support of CDEM-critical activity (such as emergency services and medical facilities). Forecast and prioritise external demand before the event.

5.      Planning can only be effective if developed co-operatively with all business stakeholders so that responsibilities and roles are clearly understood and assumptions validated.

6.      Risk, asset, and emergency management or continuity planning processes must develop across an entire organisation, from hazard assessment through to exercising, audit, review and feedback.

Looking after staff:

Evacuation Schemes: Building owners are required by the Fire Safety & Evacuation of Buildings Regulations 1992 to establish and maintain evacuation schemes (related to fire threat). The regulations also enforce tenants responsibility for compliance with a landlord provided evacuation schemes.

Procedures for dealing with (all) workplace emergencies: The Health and Safety in Employment Act 1992 also requires tenants/employers to develop procedures (multi-risk preparedness - not just for fire) for preventing harm, identifying workplace hazards and managing them. These regulations and statutes can be located http://www.legislation.govt.nz/

Civil Defence Cabinets:

In terms of practical civil defence equipment/cabinets that could be made available for your staff, see the following guide to CD cabinets and food supplies.
