Your consulting team has been hired by a group of Nursing homes in San Luis OBispo,CA to Develop a Disaster Recovery Plan to be submitted to the executive board. Please submit a paper of 500 words and a PPT summarizing the plan.

Adisaster of any type or size could have an impact on a business. Taking the necessary steps

to build a business disaster continuity plan and encourage employees to create a family

emergency plan, can reduce the impact on that business. It is important to consider how a

disaster could affect employees, customers, and the workplace. How would you manage your

business if access to the workplace is limited by road closures, streets are impassable, or

communication is limited?

Businesses and their staff face a variety of hazards such as:

• Natural hazards like floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, and earthquakes.
• Health hazards such as widespread and serious illnesses like the flu.
• Human-caused hazards including accidents and acts of violence/terrorism.
• Technology-related hazards like power outages and equipment failure.

As a result, businesses generally need to do the following:

• Identify Risks
• Develop A Plan
• Take Action

Quite often, depending on the type of business, you may need to involve Social Media,

therefore, have a “Social Media” plan which has safety and preparedness messages you can

share on your social media channels.

Other things to consider:

Hurricane plans, 72 hours out, 48 hours out, 24 hours out.

Inland flooding and the inability to move

Power/Generator. Do we need one? What about fuel?

Essential staff might need to be onsite. What provisions will be necessary for their children and

pets?

Building construction. How well built is the structure? Is it safe in a hurricane or quake?

Are we near a nuclear power plant?

Fallout is most dangerous in the first few hours after the detonation when it is giving off the

highest levels of radiation. It takes time for fallout to arrive back to ground level, often more than

15 minutes for areas outside of the immediate blast damage zones. This is enough time for you

to be able to prevent significant radiation exposure by following simple steps

As you can see, there are many things to consider when building a disaster plan. In fact, most

businesses have a general disaster plan, and then many specific plans that cover specific

areas. For example, you don’t need a hurricane plan in Chicago Illinois, but you do in Miami

Florida.
