Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the aftermath of a major earthquake, establishing communication with employees is the most urgent HR function. This ensures that the employees are safe and accounted for, and that the company can provide support and assistance as needed. Securing physical plant and equipment, re-establishing the organizational chain of command, and calculating losses for insurance purposes are important tasks, but they can wait until communication with employees has been established.
