Emergency Evacuation and Mock Drills

Sensitization of employees is highly essential considering the fact of emergency like fire, chemical disaster, flood, cyclone, tsunami, or earthquake or any such untoward incidents having the potential to cause injury and death. The activities in response to deal with depend on type of emergency. However, most of the times organizations in times of emergency or during a life-threatening hazardous situation, find themselves at back foot, due to lack of resources or lack of coordination or lack of clarity of roles among the stakeholders. This is the reason, mock drill should be conducted to inculcate the vibes of emergency preparedness, optimum utilization of resources, mobilization of coordinated activities, and related aspects after identifying the gaps.

The objective of mock drill is to review the emergency preparedness plan of the organization and evaluate standard operating procedure, so that concerned persons would deliver their duties effectively while keeping in cognizance of life and property. If the employees and concerned stakeholders are trained, then the response during emergency would be smooth and effective.
