Emergency rescue plan management

Emergency preparedness plans are essential tools designed to ensure a structured and effective response during unexpected incidents. The primary goal is to minimize harm, manage the situation efficiently, and reduce potential losses. To achieve this, these plans must be scientifically sound, practical in application, and authoritative in nature. Laws such as the "Occupational Safety and Health Act," "Fire Safety Regulations," and "Occupational Disease Prevention Law" emphasize the importance of developing detailed emergency plans for high-risk facilities, hazardous substances, and critical infrastructure.

Emergency response plans can be categorized into different levels based on the scope, location, and type of emergency. In China, the system includes five levels: Level I (Enterprise-level), Level II (County or Community-level), Level III (Regional or Municipal-level), Level IV (Provincial-level), and Level V (National-level). Each level corresponds to a specific scale of responsibility and coordination required during an incident.

Emergency plans come in various forms depending on their purpose and target audience. These include: (1) Emergency Action Guides or Checklists, (2) Emergency Response Plans, (3) Mutual Aid Emergency Plans, and (4) Emergency Management Plans. Each type serves a unique function in ensuring readiness and efficient action during crises.

A well-structured emergency plan should include key elements such as clear organizational responsibilities, risk assessments, communication protocols, availability of resources, protection measures, public information strategies, recovery procedures, training programs, and regular updates. These components work together to ensure that all aspects of an emergency are addressed effectively.

The file system of an emergency plan is equally important. It typically consists of four levels: Level 1 – General Plan, Level 2 – Programs, Level 3 – Instructions, and Level 4 – Records of emergency operations. This structured approach ensures that every part of the plan is documented, accessible, and easy to implement when needed.

In addition to the structure, the main program documents of an emergency plan should cover an overview of the plan, prevention procedures, preparation steps, basic emergency actions, special emergency responses, and post-incident recovery processes. These sections provide a comprehensive guide for both planning and execution, making the plan more robust and reliable in real-world scenarios.
