Notwithstanding the adoption of specific threat reduction measures, the possibility still exists for a threat to materialise and cause harm. In such a case, it is necessary for individuals or organizations to be prepared on how to manage the event in order to ensure the most appropriate response and allow for business continuity through effective emergency planning and crisis response preparedness.

In this context, emergency plans within corporate processes are either prepared or reviewed. The management of special risks such as armed robberies, kidnapping, terrorism and evacuation from troubled areas is prioritised.
