Electrical and Fire Safety Code

Disasters can occur anywhere, and they often occur when we least expect them. NFPA codes and
standards are there to provide us with ways to prevent their occurrence, manage their impact, and
protect us. NFPA develops, publishes, and disseminates more than 300 consensus codes and standards
intended to minimize the possibility and effects of fire and other risks. Virtually every building, process,
service, design, and installation in society today is affected by NFPA documents. Our codes and
standards, administered by more than 250 Technical Committees comprising approximately 8,000
volunteers, are adopted and used throughout the world.

prohibited, and providing penalties.

Disaster Preparedness and Management

Disaster management is the the “actions taken by an organization in response to unexpected events that
are adversely affecting people or resources and threatening the continued operation of the
organization”.

Disaster management “includes the development of disaster recovery plans, for minimizing the risk of
disasters and for handling them when they do occur, and the implementation of such plans. Disaster
management usually refers to the management of natural catastrophes such as fire, flooding, or
earthquakes”.

Contingency Measures and Procedures

A contingency plan is a course of action designed to help an organization respond effectively to a

significant future event or situation that may or may not happen.

A contingency plan is sometimes referred to as “Plan B,” because it can be also used as an alternative for
action if expected results fail to materialize. Contingency planning is a component of business
continuity, disaster recovery and risk management.
