What is an emergency evacuation plan?
Disturbances such as coups, insurgencies, protests, terrorist attacks, bomb threats, political instability, and civil unrest can happen anywhere in the world at any time. Less sinister but also worrisome are environmental disasters, unusually severe weather systems, medical emergencies, and incidents involving contagious diseases or biochemical contamination. When these events occur overseas, they put your expatriate employees, international business travelers, and personnel on temporary duty assignments at considerable risk, often far away from home. Accordingly, it is important to have in place a detailed, well-considered and current evacuation plan.
