You may be asking, “What is an ERP?” An Emergency Readiness Plan or Emergency Ready Profile is a method of careful, well-practiced strategy of planning for emergencies before they happen to prevent panic during a catastrophe. When disaster strikes, having this tool in place will allow you or any employee to effectively handle whatever arises.
