This course is designed to provide an understanding of the framework for the development of an emergency management plan and a business continuity plan. These plans assist organizations in maximizing their survival and sustainability when catastrophic threats occur or when unexpected events interrupt normal business or project operations.

The implementation of an emergency management plan will assist organizations to meet the Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulatory requirements for the implementation of an emergency management or action plan.

The business continuity plan is similar to the emergency management plan. The key difference is that the business continuity plan will focus on the survivability of the organization by minimizing the financial impact of exposures that face the organization, while the emergency management plan will focus on minimizing the impact of an event on life and property.

Through this course, you will obtain a basic understanding of the elements of each of these programs as well as of the implementations required for the successful and sustainable implementation of these plans.
