Communication is Central

During the month of September, the federal government encourages all families and businesses to review their disaster plans. What will do in case of an emergency?

The site, www.ready.gov, has lots of helpful information that will help you prepare for unexpected events. It has sections for kids, businesses, and America's families in general. We encourage you to visit the site for helpful print outs and worksheets that you can use to organize information and plan to keep your family safe.

Under the business section, owners and managers will find lots of information to help their employees prepare and know what to do. The first advice on the Web site – Communication is central! Here’s what it says:

Two-way communication is central before, during and after a disaster.

• Include emergency preparedness information in newsletters, on company intranet, periodic employee emails and other internal communications tools.
• Consider setting up a telephone calling tree, a password-protected page on the company Web site, an email alert or a call-in voice recording to communicate with employees in an emergency.
