The Role of The Innovative Admin™ in Disaster Planning

From natural disasters, such as floods, wildfires, and hurricanes, to global pandemics and personal emergencies, including health issues, a death in the family, or criminal situations, there’s a lot that can happen to send you into crisis management mode. Most of these situations come with little or no warning, so you need to be as prepared as possible. But where do you begin? Disaster response planning is everyone’s job. As an administrative professional, you can add tremendous value by initiating and maintaining the disaster planning documentation for your team. There’s something to learn from every event or disaster you go through.
