Why we need ERP
• Data & statistic industry/org accident/fatal
Disaster/emergency event
Four Phase in ERP
Mitigation
• To prevent future emergencies and take steps to minimize their effects
• phase occurs before a disaster takes place
• Examples:
• Building & safety inspection
• Hazard mapping.
• Building codes and zoning
• Insurans
• Effectiveness will also depend on the availability of information on
hazards, emergency risks, and the countermeasures to be taken
Preparedness
• To take actions ahead of time to be ready for an emergency
• This phase includes planning, training, and educational activities for
events that cannot be mitigated.
• Example:
• Establish emergency/disaster committee
• Policies, SOP & guidelines
• Emergency exercises/training
• Warning systems.
• Facilities & equipment
Response
• To protect people and property in the wake of an emergency, disaster
or crisis
• phase occurs in the immediate aftermath of a disaster.
• Example:
• Implementing disaster response plans
• Conducting search and rescue missions
• Taking actions to protect yourself, your family, your animals, and others
• Addressing public perceptions about food safety
Recovery

normal
• This phase is the restoration of an organization following any impacts
from a disaster.
• can last anywhere from six months to a year (or even longer depending
on the severity of the incident).
• Example:
• Preventing or reducing stress-related illnesses and excessive financial burdens
• Rebuilding damaged structures based on advanced knowledge obtained from
the preceding disaster
• Reducing vulnerability to future disasters
Take home message
•  emergency is an unexpected and difficult or dangerous situation, especially
 an accident, which happens suddenly and which requires quick action to deal
 with it.
• Emergency concept
• All emergency equipment are in place and is working
• There is an effective Emergency Plan in place
• All employees are aware of their role during an emergency.
• 4 phase of ERP
