What is an emergency?
An emergency is unplanned event, that can cause deaths or significant injuries. It can shut down your business, disrupt operation, cause physical environmental damage, or threaten the reputation or revenue. There are many examples, but these generally include:
|

● Hazardous Materials Accident
● Hurricane
● Earthquake
● Civil Disturbance |
● Forest Fire
● Tornado
● Communications Failure
● Explosion |
● Flood (or Flash Flood)
● Winter Storm
● Radiological Accident |

A "disaster" is a large scale emergency - even a small emergency left unmanaged may turn into a disaster. |
