In the wake of the devastating flash flooding in Texasthat claimed lives and left many communities reeling, it’s a sobering reminder of how quickly emergencies can unfold, and how critical it is to have your business ready before disaster strikes. While we can’t always prevent the unexpected, one simple step every business can take today is to ensure every employee knows exactly whom to call in an emergency, whether it’s 911, a property manager or a designated internal contact.
Make sure your emergency contact list is:
- Current and easy to find
- Shared with all employees (not just management)
- Customized to cover scenarios relevant to your business (like fire, flood, cyberattack or medical crisis)
It only takes a few minutes, but in a real crisis, it can save time, property and even lives. Download our Business Emergency Contact Sheet to fill out for your company. For more tips and templates, check out our full Crisis Management Guide, coming this fall.
