What is an Emergency Response Team?

ERT

An emergency response team (ERT), also known as an incident response team, is a group of individuals who prepare for and respond to various emergencies. Their primary purpose is to ensure safety, mitigate risks, and maintain continuity during crises. Let’s explore the key aspects of an ERT:

  

Composition: ERTs are typically small teams, but their size can vary based on the organization’s needs. They consist of representatives from different departments, including leadership, facilities, IT, HR, and more.


Roles and Responsibilities: 

  • Incident Commander: The incident commander assumes overall leadership during emergencies. They make critical decisions, coordinate response efforts, and allocate resources.
  • Communication Coordinator: This role manages internal and external communication. They disseminate information, keep stakeholders informed, and maintain clear lines of communication.
  • Safety Officers: Responsible for crisis mitigation and ensuring people’s safety. They assess risks, implement safety protocols, and monitor well-being.
  • Logistics and Operations Personnel: Handle practical aspects like resource allocation, transportation, and facility management.
  • IT and Technology Specialists: Manage communication systems, data security, and technology infrastructure.
  • Human Resources Representatives: Assist with employee well-being, family communication, and support services.
  • Legal and Compliance Advisors: Guide the team on legal      obligations and compliance.


Plan Specifics: ERTs follow detailed emergency response plans tailored to the specific type of crisis. Whether it’s a cybersecurity incident, an active shooter situation, or a natural disaster, these plans outline who has what responsibilities.
