Frequently asked questions

What is the most important part of an emergency contingency plan template?

The risk identification section is crucial as it forms the foundation of your entire plan. By thoroughly assessing potential hazards specific to your operations and their likelihood, you can prioritize your planning efforts and resources. This focused approach ensures you’re preparing for the most relevant threats rather than generic scenarios.

What common mistakes should I avoid when creating my emergency contingency plan?

Avoid creating overly complex procedures that people won’t remember during a crisis. Don’t neglect to plan for business recovery after the immediate emergency passes. Finally, ensure your plan addresses communication with external stakeholders like customers and suppliers, not just internal teams.

How do I prioritize which risks to address first in my contingency plan?

Focus on risks with both high likelihood and severe potential impact on your operations. Consider threats to life safety first, followed by those that could cause extended business disruption. The template helps you assess these priorities and allocate your planning resources effectively.
