Human Impact

A company’s most important asset is its people.

An important element of crisis management is the human impact.  The human impact of disasters includes any and all aspects of daily life that are impacted by a disaster: from basic survival needs through more complex affects on people trying to resuscitate an affected business community.  Recent experiences with companies in the gulf coast of the US following Hurricane Katrina demonstrated how senior management was no less vulnerable than production line staff. 

To appreciate the complexity of Human Impact preparedness, one has to appreciate the complexity of humans.  Recovery from a disaster and crisis, like down sizing, is not linear. Initially things seem very positive but only later, after a few weeks, the realization sets in that life has forever been changed.  A robust model of Human Impact Preparedness needs to combine knowledge about people, organizations, communities, and disasters.
