It identifies the roles and responsibilities of those involved in emergency response and provides important guidance. The EAP also provides contact information and links to resources. HR should make it available to all employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"emergency-action-plan-template\">Emergency action plan template<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">This is an example document and should be adapted to suit your circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-primary-gray-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-366493b0d403b8e77fdf5cb06e172268\" style=\"font-size:clamp(15.747px, 0.984rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 1.131), 24px);\">Introduction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The organisation has developed this emergency action plan (EAP) for use in preparing for, and responding to, events with the potential to lead to serious disruption of parts, or all, of its business. The plan covers crisis management and disaster recovery in the event of theft, fire, flooding, fraud, terrorism, vandalism, or IT and utilities failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Emergency action planning is not a one-off exercise. This plan emphasises the importance of regular testing and revision, and training for managers and employees in its provisions. Contingency planning is more than a data processing issue, and covers the protection of IT, physical, intellectual and human assets. All of these functions in the organisation must be involved in preparing for, and responding to, emergencies and maintaining the effectiveness of the plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-primary-gray-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1dd3699d6b34345f450be111bc9b712c\" style=\"font-size:clamp(15.747px, 0.984rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 1.131), 24px);\">Objectives<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The purpose of this plan is to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-brightmine-list-item-spacing-small\">\n<li class=\"\">Enable the organisation to re-establish normal operations in as short a period as possible following an emergency<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Establish a crisis management team (including emergency responders), to coordinate the recovery<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Ensure that staff are aware of the plan and are supported in the aftermath of any event<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-primary-gray-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-55196fb9872cde77aedd018cc43053a2\" style=\"font-size:clamp(15.747px, 0.984rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 1.131), 24px);\">Planning for a disaster<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Emergency action planning starts before any incident and involves the establishment of an organisation-level crisis management team. This team includes representatives from the HR, security and facilities functions. A coordinator will lead the crisis management team with the support of site-level emergency responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The crisis management team is responsible for the overall coordination and delivery of the plan. and its specific functions in the event of a disaster include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-brightmine-list-item-spacing-small\">\n<li class=\"\">Reporting progress to senior management<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Authorising expenditure on recovery up to [state maximum amount]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Implementing an IT recovery plan<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Liaising with the media<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Securing personnel records<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Liaising with insurers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Securing buildings, property, equipment and data<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Liaising with [clients\/customers]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The following individuals are members of the crisis management team: [list individual members].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The EAP describes the functions and personnel of the organisation considered to be &#8220;essential&#8221; and &#8220;non-essential&#8221;. The functions considered to be essential are: [list critical functions]. The personnel considered to be essential are: [list critical personnel].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">[Units\/departments] should seek to ensure that essential tasks are not carried out by one or two people in the same critical area of the business. Cross-training is essential in these key areas to avoid the loss of an employee having a disproportionate effect on the organisation&#8217;s ability to maintain its critical functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">In planning for an emergency, the following steps will also be taken:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">[List the essential steps the organisation will take in case of emergency.

Examples of disruption include the loss of staff, the breakdown of the telephone network, an IT system failure or a power outage in an office. This plan provides a framework and structure for organisation-level action, including the establishment of an emergency response team and nominated individuals in each [unit\/department].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The type and level of response to a disaster will depend on the number of people affected and the scale and duration of the disruption.
