Crisis Management - Are you ready to take action?

Crisis Management is something that alot of us hope we never have to do, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't take the time out to plan and train for the unfortunate eventuality that it might happen.

Crisis Management often sits along side risk management when it comes to the health and safety of our workers, troops or colleagues. Whilst risk management identifies the potential threats presented by an environment in every day life, Crisis Management is the operation in picking up the pieces should the worst happen.

A crisis management plan should be easy to execute with the right tools on hand. For example, communications infrastructures need to be in place and if required GPS tracking facilities might be needed depending on your environment.

A central base or command post should be readily available to act as a communications point where instructions are send to the teams on the ground (or in the air).

Well planned, thought out Crisis Management can make or break a hostile situation.
