Posted By Bob Youel think simple and create your own e.g. first aid - what do you do if a person cuts their arm of and work from there [this would be a crisis for those concerned] Once you have one idea covered the process can be used for other areas

Posted By Flic It was also suggested to us to think about loss of essentials (never mind the cause at this stage; many possible causes may be beyond your control), such as loss of electricity, loss of telephony, water, transport, loss of access to a building, etc. Flic

Posted By Dave Merchant The problem with trying to lay hold of a stock product is that it's useless precisely because it's stock - the issues your company could face, and the way they would evolve over time as your players react to them, are far more specific than you might think. If people play a stock game, they will remember those moves when the real incident hits, and if they're not appropriate for your company they'll end up worse off than if they didn't play in the first place.

Posted By Raymond Rapp Graeme Fully agree with Dave. It should not be beyond a company to devise their own emergency plan and to use table top drills or real life exercises to familiarise staff. Emergency situations could arise from many different scenarios, the actual cause is not necessarily significant, it is the effect on the business and people that is important. Ray
