Four phases of emergency management
Emergency management doesn’t start when a crisis happens. Below, our operator guides provide recommendations to protect your tourism business in all four phases of emergency management.
Mitigation: reducing or eliminating the risk of an emergency occurring.
Preparedness: being ready to respond to a crisis and manage impacts.
Response: actions taken during an emergency to manage consequences.
Recovery: restoring conditions to a functional level.
You are not alone.
