An accomplished construction executive and entrepreneur, Brad Blaicher has served in the industry for more than two decades. He is the founder and CEO of OnSite Temp Housing, the largest RV temporary housing provider in United States. Brad Blaicher works with multiple stakeholders, including governments, to set up disaster contingency plans.
Disaster contingency planning helps organizations and governments to prepare to respond adequately to emergencies unselect that support subsequent humanitarian efforts. During emergencies, time is one of the most critical factors. Contingency planning improves preparedness and facilitates discussions on how to deal with problems that arise out of a crisis. A contingency plan involves making decisions about key issues such as management of both human and financial resources, coordination and communication protocols, and a wide range of technical and logistical issues.
For contingency plans to be relevant, they should be collaborative, including stakeholders such as governments and local, national, regional, and global organizations. When proper coordination between the relevant parties is achieved, humanitarian aid to disaster victims can be offered in a timely and effective manner. The time put into contingency planning should be proportional to the time saved in event of a disaster. The planning process should cover different scenarios and analyze how each situation would be dealt with. The process should identify particular scenarios, list what actions to take in the event those situations come to pass, and explain what can be done to prepare ahead of time.
