Emergency Planning Handbook, 2nd edition

Every business should have an emergency management plan. The Emergency Planning Handbook provides guidance and direction to corporate security supervisors/managers who have emergency planning responsibilities. This new edition of the popular handbook presents an overview of recovery planning and its relative importance to an organization. It imparts planning guidance in summary form that can be adapted to and supplemented by company procedures and policies. Most organizations will experience a crisis at some point; but with an emergency plan in place, the crisis does not have to escalate to unmanageable proportions. Having a well thought-out emergency management plan can mean the difference between success and failure for a business or organization.

This handbook is an ongoing project of the ASIS International Disaster Management Council.
