 Emergency versus Disaster
• Emergency
– is an unexpected event requiring
prompt action which is beyond
the normal day to day activity in
order to ensure the safety of the
people, public, environment and
equipment. Normally it can be
managed at the local level.
• Disaster
– is a dangerous event that causes
significant human and economic
losses and demands a crisis
response beyond the scope of any
single agency or service.
 Types of Emergency/Disaster

• Internal incident – fire, explosion,

toxic release
• External threat – fire, explosion or
toxic release in an adjacent facility
or a transport accident
• Natural disaster – flood,
hurricane, earthquake, tsunami
• Civil disorder – bomb threat, riot
• Malicious damage – sabotage,
arson
 Emergency Management
• The goals are:
– To save lives
– To prevent injuries
– To protect property & environment
Phases of Emergency Management

• The four key phases in emergency management are:

i. Planning and preparedness
ii. mitigation
iii. response
iv. recovery
Phases of Emergency Management
• Planning and preparedness
– Building the emergency management system to effectively
prepare for, mitigate against, respond to and recover from
hazards and their effects by planning, training and
exercising.
• Mitigation
– Taking sustained action to reduces or eliminates long-term
risk to people, property and environments from hazards
and their effects.
• Response
– Conducting emergency/rescue operations to save lives and
property by positioning emergency equipment and
supplies, providing food, shelter and medical.
• Recovery
– Recovery is the process of returning to normal
 On-site vs Off Site Emergency
CIMAH Regulation 1996
• Regulation 18: On-site Emergency Plan
• Regulation 21: Off-site Emergency Plan

Phases of off-site emergency
response
• pre-release
• early phase
• intermediate phase
• late phase
Emergency Response Team (ERT)

• Emergency Response Team (ERT) is a

special team that responds to general
and localised emergencies to facilitate
personnel evacuation and safety.
• ERT shuts down building services and
utilities as needed.
• ERT works with civil authorities to
protect and salvage company
property.
• ERT evaluates areas of safety before
re-entry of personnel.
