Get Started on Your Preparedness Plan with the Organizational Resilience Assessment
An emergency preparedness plan is invaluable for every organization regardless of size or industry. The effects of disasters can be greatly reduced by determining and documenting a course of action before the incident occurs. However, your preparedness plan can’t be created until you’ve identified the potential threats and hazards your organization is at risk of. Most organizations can be threatened by natural disasters and global disasters, but there are also unique internal and external risks that are specific to your organization to be considered.
What is the Organizational Resilience Assessment?
In a nutshell, the Organizational Resilience Assessment (ORA) will help you identify the risks your organization could face so that we can accurately come up with your Emergency Operations Plan (EOP). All organizations need to understand their resiliency level in the event of an emergency, i.e. how quickly you can bounce back from a disaster and resume your normal operations (or at least as close to normal as possible). It’s crucial to understand your organization’s threat landscape compared to the standard, highlighting opportunities to mitigate risk.
What Threats Could Your Organization Face?
Threats and hazards come in all shapes and sizes, so it’s vital that you’re prepared for various scenarios. They can be regional (hurricanes, blizzards, wildfires), industry-specific (risks from hazardous materials, supply chain vulnerabilities), and even more general threats that all organizations face in today's world (pandemic, active shooter, cyber-attack on critical infrastructure). With the ORA, we’ll identify your most likely and impactful threats, then let you know the opportunities your organization has to improve your ability to respond.
How Will Your Organization Handle an Impactful Event?
You may already have some processes in place. If that’s the case, we’ll also perform an audit to see what other action plans need to be created for your organization to thrive. We’ll provide the space for you to candidly share information about threats to high-stakes projects, so we can examine the relationship between risks and the cascading impact they could have on your strategic goals. When we perform your ORA, we’ll accomplish:
A comprehensive review of your existing business continuity
A risk assessment audit review
A detailed risk assessment
Clear company concerns and primary priorities
Organizational support office hours
