Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Designating a crisis management team in the event of an environmental disaster is an important step in preparing for a crisis. This team should be trained and ready to take necessary actions to minimize the impact of the crisis. Building relationships with neighboring businesses may also be helpful, but it is not the most critical step in this process. Detecting signals from the natural environment and polling employees are not as useful in preparing for a toxic spill or accident. Dismantling ties to the external media is not recommended as it can hinder communication during a crisis.
