Disaster management and planning: An IBLF framework for business response
1 January 2005
Executive Briefing
This IBLF Executive Briefing is aimed at providing the business sector with a basic framework that can assist them in developing their own response to natural and manmade disasters were a need and interest has been highlight by the recent Asian tsunami disaster.
Most transnational, national and larger local companies already have emergency response systems to deal with emergencies such as fires, floods, cyclones, hurricanes, earthquakes and terrorist incidents, and for international companies these have been developed since 9/11.
Much can also be done to prevent and reduce impacts through concern about ecological impacts and 'do no harm' policies.
Most of the examples and proposed actions are well known and can assist companies in developing a checklist for their own disaster response planning, policies and practices.
