"I am prepared to face an emergency...I guess..."
A simple question can help you determine if you might be ready to deal with emergencies. It holds true whether you are responsible for a division of a large corporation, a non-profit organization, or a church. Here is the question:
Have you put a lot of thought, time, and effort into planning for emergencies?
If you have invested a lot of time and effort into making emergency plans, you may be ready for whatever comes your way. If you have not, you will find it difficult to survive an emergency, let alone recover from one.
You must respond to an emergency in two ways. First, you must survive it. Put the fire out or call 911. Go to the basement until the storm passes. Firmly hold the wheel, gently apply the brakes, and pull onto the shoulder after you have slowed almost to a stop.
You must also recover from the emergency. Rebuild after the fire or the storm. Change the tire and get back on the road. Recovering depends on preparations you made beforehand. Rebuilding is much easier if you had adequate insurance. Getting back on the road depends on having a spare tire and tools. To be ready for whatever lies ahead, you need to consider what emergencies you are likely to face and how they could affect you. You need to decide what possessions, information, and activities are critical to you, and have a plan to get that stuff back and resume those activities.
Hard decisions must have been made. Emergency provisions must have been acquired. Plans must have been written, circulated, and tested. If you are responsible for a company, your employees should have been involved in your planning and know what their roles are when the time comes. The same is true for a family or a church.
