Get ready

Navigating the modern world of business means preparing for the unexpected. From natural disasters like bushfires, floods and storms to the threat of pandemics, biosecurity incidents and cyber attacks - emergencies can strike at any time.

These disruptions have the potential to cause significant damage to property, halt operations and threaten the long-term viability of a business. Taking proactive steps to understand and prepare for these risks is essential for protecting your business, your people and your future.

The first step is to create a business continuity plan using the Emergency Ready Business tool. This guided process helps you identify hazards, assess vulnerabilities and outline practical steps to protect your business, your people and your future.

While bushfires, floods and storms are the most common emergencies in Tasmania, other hazards may also affect your business. The TasALERT website provides detailed, hazard-specific guidance on what to do before, during and after each type of emergency, helping you make informed decisions and complement your continuity planning.
