Active Assailant Risk: Crisis management and emergency response programs

Episode 3 in a four-episode podcast on active assailant risk.

16/01/2023

One team. One process. All risk. In a crisis situation, it is imperative for all departments of an organisation — no matter how large — to function as a single, unified front. Essential to a successful response is a cohesive emergency response plan that serves as roadmap to guide the business from incident to recovery.

In this episode of Active Assailant Risk, host Dave Rapp talks with Renata Elias from Marsh Advisory’s Strategic Consulting Practice about best practices before, during, and after a catastrophic event.

Key takeaways

Have a comprehensive emergency response plan

Create a detailed plan so your employees know things to be aware of, what to report, how to respond, and what to expect after an incident.

Stick to the script

Create your key messages and repeat them over and over — from designated spokespeople to all employees, for both traditional and social media.

Have recovery services in place

Post-incident services to help provide for both physical and mental health needs are a critical part of the recovery process after a tragedy.
