Emergency planning

Emergency Planning is a critical component of every facility’s mission to provide a safe environment for its residents, staff, patrons and visitors. The key to successful emergency response lies in the details of preparedness. Generic (one-size fits all) guidelines for emergency response are insufficient. Our safety in an emergency depends on the careful, detailed planning and training that goes on well before an emergency occurs and that is specific to each facility.

When it comes to ensuring a water system’s security, few utilities, regardless of size or geographic location, can function independently.

Over the past 20 years a microfinance industry has emerged in response to the lack of access to formal financial services for most of the world’s poor.

Some systems will share two pumps between two units so that in an emergency one pump could be used for both units. The accumulator tank is usually sized so that in the event the pumps fail, the gates can still be closed. The size of the valve required to control the large amount of oil...

In spite of the limited evidence about the behaviour of mutual funds in emerging markets, mutual fund investment in these areas has grown markedly over the past decade at a quicker pace than even the developed markets have shown. The growth in mutual fund investment is influential because it shapes the future development in the securities market and has important policy implications.
