Hello Guys,

Could you please help me in this?

I have now to prepare and update the current emergency preparedness according to ISO 22000 but i have a question is Emergency plan different from crisis management ? if yes what is the difference ? If you have examples it will facilitate my job.

Thanks in advance for your concern and help.

Yusuf, In my experience Emergency Preparedness is your fire and weather emergency program. Alarms, lights, shelter areas drilling on this etc. Crisis management is how you respond after an actual emergency occurs. Part of your building is rendered unusable due to fire. It's the exact steps you take to continue or recover production as quickly as possible. Who is in charge, specific responsibilities, alternate means of receiving, shipping, handling etc. All aspects of operations need to be covered with contingencies. Hope this helps. I will look to see if there are any IFSQN documents to help.

In my understanding, Emergency plan is a component of the overall Crisis Management Plan.

 

Emergency plan (including Emergency preparedness) is to cover the immediate threat to the safety of the employees, product and business itself, while Crisis Management will also include the recovery phase in the long term to bring back the business to its normal operations.

 

A crisis management team (CMT) can consists of several teams:

1. Emergency Response team.

2. Recovery team

3. Crisis Response Team.

Crisis management can include more than just emergency response for fire, weather, etc.

  • Computer system goes down or is hacked.
  • Supplier not available due to natural disaster.
  • Bad press or inaccurate accusations in media or social media.
  • Employees kidnapped in other countries for ransom.
  • Employees go on strike.
  • Power goes out (not due to fire or weather)
  • Here in Wisconsin - heavy blizzard preventing many employees from getting to work.
