Who is the Emergency Communication Plan template for?
This Emergency Communication Plan template is designed to help organizations of all sizes and across all industries create a plan to communicate in case of emergencies. It is a comprehensive guide to developing an effective emergency communication plan and includes guidance on setting up objectives, measurable targets (KPIs), and implementing related projects.
1. Define clear examples of your focus areas
A focus area is a broad concept that encapsulates the overall goal of your Emergency Communication Plan. Examples of focus areas could include Establish Emergency Communication Protocol, Establish Emergency Decision-Making Process, and Establish Emergency Notification System.
2. Think about the objectives that could fall under that focus area
Objectives are specific targets that need to be achieved in order to reach the overall goal of the focus area. For example, under the Establish Emergency Communication Protocol focus area, objectives could include Establish a clear, concise communication protocol and Implement emergency communication protocol.
3. Set measurable targets (KPIs) to tackle the objective
KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) are measurable targets that can be used to evaluate the progress of an objective. KPIs should be set for each objective and should include an initial value, target value, and unit of measure. For example, the objective “Establish a clear, concise communication protocol” could have a KPI of “Increase understanding of communication protocol” with an initial value of 0 and a target value of 100, measured in %.
4. Implement related projects to achieve the KPIs
Projects (actions) are the steps taken to reach the objectives and KPIs. Projects should be clearly outlined in the plan and should include a timeline, resources and personnel needed, and any potential risks. For example, the objective “Establish a clear, concise communication protocol” could have a project of “Create an emergency communication plan to be distributed to all employees”.
