Crisis Management
Natural emergencies, although infrequent, do happen and employees should be prepared for them.
Depending on your location, you may have to cope with earthquakes, floods, tidal waves, hurricanes/typhoons, tornadoes, windstorms, power failures or severe snowstorms. In some instances, natural disasters present unique problems whereby your hotel might be used as a shelter or hospital for nearby residents.
Before a Crisis
Emergency planning can reduce the impact of these situations and assist in the efforts to re-establish operations following a loss. You, as an employee, can play an important role in:
Knowing where your hotels emergency procedures are located. Knowing what to do when you come across a fire by executing Contain-Activate alarm-ReportEvacuate. Participating in fire drills and other safety related training with your staff and offer suggestions. Know your rally point. Participate in your hotels safety committee and become involved with hotel safety and security. Protect yourself, guests, other employees, hotel assets and the reputation of the hotel and brand.
