We work with the local resilience forums to:
- reinforce the important messages to local businesses
- provide examples of good practice
- offer assistance to cope with emergencies and disruption to their
businesses.
Some key challenges that all organisations could face include:
- flooding
- severe weather
- loss of utilities
- high level of staff absence
- fire.
Having tested plans in place, everyone from small companies to large
corporations can minimise the effects of any incident or disaster on
their economic well-being. This helps make the North East economy more
resilient.
