(10/22) 5 Ways to Make Your Culture Disaster Ready

By Joanne Kaldy / October 22, 2019

Having a disaster-ready workplace can help your organization and your employees bounce back quicker after an emergency. To prepare your culture, consider the following:

  • Listen to your workforce. They know your organization and the community better than anyone. Seek their input on where they see your disaster-related strengths and weaknesses.
  • Care for your workforce. Determine in advance how you will care for employees during and after a disaster. Will you establish a relief fund for workers? Will you provide beds and meals for employees and their families?
  • Be transparent about disaster preparedness strategies, policies, and procedures in advance. Conduct drills that involve all staff (as appropriate). Seek everyone’s input on how things could be done different or better.
  • Establish relationships. Connect in advance with transportation companies, physician practices, hospitals, and relief agencies whose services or support you might need.
  • Practice your culture. After an emergency, involve all staff in reviewing and evaluating the response. Encourage everyone to be open and honest about what worked and what didn’t.
