If your organization is looking for a specific disaster preparedness service that is not listed below, please reach out and we can either address your specific request or refer you to one of our partner agencies.
Emergency Response Plans (ERPs)
SF CARD will help develop a documented ERP for each site your organization manages. This will include guidance on how to respond to multi-hazards, such as earthquakes, building fires, and bomb threats. The document will provide information on what staff can do during a disaster, including guidance on the evacuation plan. The document will also be used to facilitate training sessions with staff.
Staff Emergency Response Training
SF CARD will conduct a training session on key procedures, policies, & processes documented in the agency’s ERP. This will allow your staff the opportunity to practice the emergency response procedures and also receive guidance from a facilitator. The training will be held at each site.
