You never know when a natural disaster will take place. Having an emergency plan in place for your business and residence puts you in a better position to recover and continue operations, says Monmouth Fire Chief Casey Rexroat:
“Whether it is a fire or flood or an active threat or something like that, you want to have that plan in place ahead of time and make sure your employees know the plan. The plan is never good if you are not practicing it. It is important to practice that plan and make sure all the employees are aware of the plan and what to do in those type of emergencies.”
