Employer Resources for Coping with Forest Fires and Other Natural Disasters
When natural disasters strike, employees often look to Human Resources for answers to their questions. Disasters can create havoc, uncertainty and logistical problems within a company if there are not procedures already in place.
With forest fires raging in the West and hurricanes simultaneously lashing the Gulf and East Coasts, emergency management and disaster response are front and center on many people’s minds right now. To help employers cope with whatever disaster strikes next, here are some valuable resources we found on the HRHero.com website and are sharing with their permission:
- “Crisis Management and Disaster Planning for Employers,” http://bit.ly/2vU5hls
- “Employers can play vital role when natural disaster strikes,” http://bit.ly/2eKvW9V

If any of your employees are experiencing trauma from the current forest fires or other natural disasters, the EAP can help. Contact us at 1-800-648-5834 or locally at 425-454-3003.
