Emergency Planning

OCTOBER 23, 2020

Since the start of the crisis, I have constantly affirmed that the key to understanding the effects of this pandemic is the UK Government's failure to give adequate weight to emergency planning and management (Alexander 2020a, 2020b). There were major exercises on pandemics in 2005, 2007 and 2016. Exercise Cygnus Report.

As I write, the Covid-19 pandemic is ramping up in many countries. Much of what is written will need to be reconsidered in the light of the outcome of the pandemic, which is months away, and the post-event debate that follows it. So is the response by academic authors.

During the worst of the pandemic there was, no doubt rightly, a huge emphasis on student welfare. In effect, the pandemic saw the triumph of the marketisation of higher education, a process that had been steadily accelerating for decades before Covid-19 struck. If we lose that, our product rapidly deteriorates.

Due to the rise in work-from-home, the last few years have seen a serious degradation in organizations’ emergency planning and response capability. In today’s post, we’ll look at why it’s important to have a solid emergency response plan and explain how to create one.

Moreover, the Coronavirus pandemic has been widely used as a pretext for curtailing human rights. Moreover, at the world scale there has been a gradual and sustained retreat from democracy as well as a retreat from the principle of right to protection (R2P).

Myth 35: We are well organised to face a pandemic or CBRN attack. Myth 36: In a biological terrorism attack or pandemic prophylaxis will be effective and efficient. Myth 38: The main effects of a CBRN attack or pandemic would necessarily be medical. Myth 62: Pandemic influenza is almost exclusively a medical problem.

Pandemics are included because many of the effects of a pandemic are likely to be socio-economic in nature. There is also a link between pandemics and the 'intentional disaster' of bioterrorism (Trufanov et al.

Third, there are emergent crises that initially present as routine emergencies, giving responders a false sense of security in thinking that they’ve experienced this kind of critical event previously, when in reality they haven’t (the recent global pandemic for example).

Those who live in earthquake zones are very aware of the risks involved and have emergency plans in place should they ever get caught up in one. The incident manifested differently from what they thought and therefore required a different response to what they had planned.

By assessing earthquake-related hazards, you can plan and take advance action to limit the damage earthquakes may cause to your business. Earthquakes don’t care about pandemics, but you and your business should. If your location has done this, update your evacuation plans to account for these closures.

Before severe winter weather strikes, prepare by developing a COVID-tailored business continuity plan and an emergency preparedness plan that accounts for the variables of the pandemic. Emergency plans for loss of heat, electricity, fuel, and protection system impairments are necessary.

When preparing your plan, the following factors should be considered: What are the hazards and risks that might affect my business and community? Are they sudden, like an earthquake, or would they allow for some lead-in time, like a pandemic? What are my key business functions and processes? Who performs these functions?

In the 1990s, we had lots of transport and natural disasters, so emergency planning came of age. When BC started, I know of a Scottish Local Authority which spent £100k on external consultants to develop their BC plans.
