Emergency Response (ER)
In case of accident, to take action to prevent to be a crisis The Impact of Proactive vs. Reactive Forces
- Incident
- Incident can occur fairly regularly and often do not escalate to the point of an emergency or crisis.
- Each incident should be mitigated as quickly as possible and monitored and evaluated to ensure that it does not escalate to crisis.
- Additionally, an incident can serve to identify prevention efforts which could decrease the likelihood of the incident occurring again.
- Emergency
- Immediate effects are often local in nature (i.e., on site fire; pipe burst with oil spilling into containment dikes; or computer malfunction)
- Impacts typically are short-term (i.e., minor loss in production time; minimal air pollution due to fire smoke)
- On-site local area resources are generally adequate to respond to and manage the situation
- May or may not have potential to escalate into a crisis
- Timeframe for action is extremely limited
- Limited and often conflicting information regarding the situation,
- Crisis
- Potential to impact the organization with long-term consequences
- May require significant corporate resources (financial support, staffing management and technical expertise, etc.) to respond effectively
- Off-site and contract resources are usually required
- Timeframe for action is extremely limited
- Limited and often conflicting information regarding the situation
- Disaster
- Disasters are thought of in terms of natural disasters and the consequence of these events on a specific geographic area.
- Disaster example include the flooding, earthquake, etc.
- Emergency Management
- The focus of emergency management tends to be tactical; i.e. to “put out the fire” and manage all the activities associated with that task.
- Notification of response personnel that an incident has occurred
- Managing emergency resources and response activities at the site (i.e. fire brigade, evacuation teams, etc.)
- Ensuring that any and all necessary equipment is either in place or on way to the site
- Crisis Management
- Crisis management encompasses tasks associated with overseeing the management of emergency response, but it focuses on the consequences and strategic aspects or impacts of the incident.
- A crisis team usually has oversight authority with regard to the emergency management efforts.
- The strategic and long-term consequences of the incident should be the main focus of a crisis management team. In the fire example used above, the crisis team should be considering such issues as:
- The impact of image, and the need/parameters of humanitarian or claims efforts for the surrounding community
- The impact of the crisis on a pending contract to build a similar facility in the town 10 miles away
- Other long-term business consequences that may arise from an emergency or other circumstances
