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.

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.

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?
