“Response” refers collectively to all the actions performed in reaction to a hazard that is affecting your organisation. Using the risk and vulnerability analyses, specific required response measures are identified. These specific measures, developed in conjunction with your preparedness measures, will ensure an optimal response to the situation.

Examples of services offered in this regard:

• Development of specific response procedures
• - Alerting the population
• - Search and Rescue
• - Management of bomb threats/suspicious packages
• - Evacuation and containment
• - Medical emergency
• - Spills
• - Fire
• - Decontamination
• - Chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear threats (CBRN)
• - Natural risks

Planning for a specific response will allow you to:

• React effectively when faced with a particular situation
• Prepare a series of targeted actions designed to minimize the consequences of a specific threat to which your organisation is vulnerable
• Increase the confidence of participants
• Improve your responses
