Creating an Emergency Plan (3 of 3)
What should you include in your Emergency Plan? (continued)
As well as the processes and procedures to be followed, Emergency Plans should contain all the information that could be required in an emergency - so that time is not wasted searching for such information when an incident occurs.
This includes:
- Floor plans (showing galleries, stores, etc.)
- A list of the names of staff who have agreed to help in emergencies, and their telephone numbers
- Lists and locations of equipment (personal protective equipment, spill kits, salvage equipment, etc.)
- Names and contact details of suppliers and other organisations that may be needed (e.g. disaster recovery firms)
- Alternative locations that are available for use (for storage, rendezvous, operations, etc.)
- Guidelines for handling and salvage of objects
- Any forms that need to be filled out
- Finance and insurance details (who to contact, who can authorise payments, etc.)
- Collection information
