Humanitarian Emergency Response Template
The best response to a critical incident is a well thought-out and routinely rehearsed emergency response plan. During an emergency, when employees know the risks that they are likely to encounter, understand the roles and functions they fulfill, acknowledge and rely on prepared leadership to guide them, your company’s response to a critical incident is smoother and more methodical. Our Humanitarian Emergency Response Template is designed to assist you in developing and implementing your emergency response plans. It outlines eight phases to follow from conception to implementation and raises the questions you’ll need to answer to develop your plan. The Template is available here for your review and information. Contact us for assistance in developing your emergency response plan.

Hazard Vulnerability Analyses
A major component of your Emergency Response Plan is understanding the emergencies to which your company is vulnerable. Most vulnerabilities are predictable depending on the geographical location, the type of industry and the clients they serve. Below are two vulnerability analyses designed specifically for health care facilities which serve as other emergency management readiness assessment examples.

Signs & Symptoms of CISTM
Critical Incidents, such as industrial accidents, deaths of co-workers, thefts or robberies, are events outside the usual range of human experience and affect the people involved differently. Such factors as the intensity of the event, proximity to the event, exposure and previous traumatic experiences influence the range of human response to traumatic events. Most people will respond with resilience and resolve, and display little apparent effect from the event. Others may experience one or more stress symptoms for extended periods. Generally, CI stress reactions will subside within three to four weeks after the event. For a small number of people symptoms may last longer and require professional assistance to understand the response and to move towards emotional recovery from the event. The Signs and Symptoms of Critical Incident Stress Reactions Chart provides an overview of the usual stress reactions to CI. The chart is presented here as a resource to understanding CI stress reactions and should not replace a consultation with a trained traumatic stress professional.
