Emergency management is being able to collaborate, communicate, and cooperate with all the members of your organization during disruptive times. Disruptions to business operations can be caused by any number of reasons including power outages, weather, accidents, terrorist attacks, and pandemics.

All types of organizations including the local, state, and federal governments, hospitals, schools, airlines, broadcasting services, energy and utility providers, manufacturing, and transportation require emergency management, preparedness, and plans.

In fact, any industry that has a large group of people that they will need to reach in a hurry must have an emergency management plan in place.
