Managers and other emergency planners need to perform risk assessments that identify potential threats to facilities, spotlight specific vulnerabilities, and undertake upgrades to address the problems, according to an article from Facility Maintenance Decisions on the FacilitesNet website.
Every day, institutional and commercial facilities face potential threats from natural disasters. No matter a facility’s function, it is vital that maintenance and engineering managers and their peers be prepared for the worst.
It is not enough to borrow plans from other organizations. Examining the way a neighboring institution prepared for and weathered a storm can help guide a facility’s plans, but each plan must be specific to the organization’s location and the unique risks associated with that location.
Managers also should include local response organizations in the planning process so they can assist and practice before an emergency.
