EMERGENCY IN SCHOOLS AND THE WORKPLACE
Is your business or organization prepared for an emergency? If you’re like most of us, the answer is no, you’re not as prepared as you would like to be. It can be difficult to know where to begin – and where to go from there.
Our specialized program is designed to help businesses, organizations, and schools become better prepared for emergencies.
​
We begin with a self-assessment of preparedness to reveal areas for improvement in your organization. You’ll learn tips and best practices so you don’t feel like you’re alone. Most importantly, we ask that you make a commitment to improving readiness each year – because preparedness is a continual process and not a one-time effort.
