Natural disasters can have a devastating impact on organizations and their personnel, particularly in areas with less developed infrastructure and regulations as is often the case in frontier markets.

Consider the following steps when reflecting on the potential impacts of natural disasters:

• Know the history of your location
• Have a response plan at home and work
• Practice and update evacuation plans
• Have a communications plan that accounts for destroyed infrastructure
• Maintain food and water supplies at home and work

The Red Cross, among others, provide extensive resources to help build local plans for disaster response.
