Disaster Planning and Preparedness for Maritime Ports: Five Important Points

T IDALBAS INGROUP.COM 9 I think having strong documentation procedures in place will set any organization up for the most successful recovery they might be able to achieve. I relate it to insurance because in my role, documentation is key when working through claims. But quite frankly, strong documentation practices help all areas of the organization. The sooner an incident is documented, the better the information will be. The more time lapses, the less credible the information will be when arguing your position; so again, documentation is crucial. With that said, documenting a car accident versus a storm, destroying a building and/ or causing severe damage, can present its own challenges. It might be days inbetween when the disaster occurred and when documentation can be captured due to not having access to areas or even “Documentation is necessary when working through an insurance claim or essentially any situation we might be trying to argue: evidence is powerful and wins cases.”
