OTHO helps authorities and organisations to prepare and plan before an emergency with a comprehensive consultancy service. Contact our team today for more information about what we do.
We all hope that an emergency will not take place, but if we do not plan for emergencies, we are going to be ill-prepared when one happens. COVID-19 is just one current example of how important preparation is. We need to consider 'what if' and identify the types of risks, hazards and threats we might face and assess their likelihood and consequences if they occur.
This is called risk assessment. This should be an important starting point when we are deciding how best to plan and prepare for emergencies. The same approach should be taken for all emergencies, whether or not they are 'natural disasters' such as flooding or 'man-made' like a terror attack.
The types of activities that we must consider before an emergency occurs include:
