Harvey #IRMA #Maria #Mexico #Where Next?

By Pamela Isom

You need to plan and prepare!

For years, I, Pamela Isom, CEO of ICE Safety Solutions have provided corporations around the globe with disaster preparedness plans, training and equipment. I drafted Emergency Action Plans, Storm Contingency Plans, Active Shooter Plans, Earthquake Preparedness Plans and provided corresponding training, kits and equipment for all the above. I was feeling pretty good about myself and the services my firm delivers. UNTIL…the rash of natural disasters! I had to sit by, glued to television coverage, feeling utterly helpless for my friends who were forced to shelter in place, evacuate or were rushed into a Red Cross shelter.

Due to Hurricanes #Harvey, #Irma, #Maria and #Mexico, many of my minority and women business enterprise and corporate member friends have reached out asking, “What should I do before the next disaster?” My response:

PLAN AND PREPARE

Plan—Design a Family Emergency Communication Plan for family to communicate and coordinate with your spouse, children, babysitters, preschools and friends. Here’s a sample plan you can use.

Prepare—The biggest challenge is calculating how much food and water you will need for yourself, family and pets. Please use our Food & Water Calculator to help identify how much you may need.
