NFPA 1600 Emergency Management(Registration Closed)

**CLASS CANCELLED*



Standard on Continuity, Emergency, and Crisis Management

Considering events so far in 2020 this is the perfect time to look at your organization’s emergency management plan, identifying opportunities for improvement and developing strategies to address them. If you’re unfamiliar with NFPA 1600, it is a universal standard for emergency management and business continuity professionals to prepare and protect their people, property, and businesses.

FEMA, the International Association of Emergency Managers (IAEM), and the National Emergency Managers Association (NEMA) all endorse NFPA 1600. Companies need to be able to disseminate information to both employees and external audiences when disaster strikes. When faced with an emergency, chaos can easily take over without a robust, well-designed, and well-executed emergency plan. The difference between companies that can weather critical events and those that cannot comes down to preparation. Efforts put into developing an effective emergency management plan can make all the difference.

NFPA 1600 provides the tools for organizations to develop an emergency management plan that will help them keep employees safe, ensure business continuity, and minimize customer impact in times of crisis.

This class will address the overall NFPA 1600 standard with the main focus of initiating a risk assessment & control plan.
