– 2014 TYPHOON SEASON –

Crisis Management & Emergency Response RISK

Crisis Management planning is a HIGHLY PRUDENT BUSINESS MEASURE for any company operating in the Philippines. The failure of establishing proper Crisis Management protocols may potentially endanger the welfare of personnel, physical assets, and diminish the continuity of business processes resultant of a highly charged threat event. Further affects may include potential threats against company financial standing or public image. Where “decision-makers are versed” in the benefits of crisis management controls and business continuity, the development and implementation of an effective Crisis Management Program should be prioritized.

Development of Crisis Management program and ERP’s to provide management and personnel with

a respective level of required guidelines to effectively prepare for and respond to unplanned

crisis and emergency events.

Audit of existing Crisis Management processes and ERP’s to measure and validate the effectiveness

and efficiency of existing management processes to ensure such continues to comply with

addressing defined risks.

Contingent upon the type of industry or business conducted in the Philippines, the following are examples of primary Hazards or Threat Events which historically occur in country with frequency.

Crisis Management & Emergency Response HAZARD EVENTS

As we enter into the Philippines wet season, risks posed by the existence of low pressure areas that develop into tropical depressions, tropical storms and typhoons, is of greater concern than in past years. In part, this is due to the level of devastation witnessed during the November 2013 Super Typhoon Yolanda.

Tropical Depressions Tropical Storms

Typhoons

Storm Surge & Coastal Flooding

Strong/High Winds

Extreme Rainfall & Inland Flooding

Landslides, and Mudflows.

Whenever a typhoon makes landfall, loss of lives and the destruction of properties are mainly due to the hazards generated within its circulation.

The Philippines has been directly in the tropical cyclone path within Northwest Pacific Ocean region from 1980 to 2005.

Only the southern portion of Palawan and Zamboanga Peninsula are exposed as less affected areas.

The Pacific Ocean west of the International Date Line see more tropical cyclones than any other basin.

Wikpedia.org 2009-2014 Pacific typhoon seasons

During the 2013 season, the region witnessed 13 Typhoon level Tropical Depressions. Two of which were Category 5 SUPER TYPHOONS.

The 2013 season showed a substantial increase within the region over the previous four year average.

Crisis Management & Emergency Response BACKGROUND

8* March 2014 - WMO Annual Climate Statement for 2013

Typhoon Yolanda, one of the strongest storms to

ever make landfall, devastated parts of the

central Philippines.

Australia saw record warmth for the year, and

Argentina its second warmest year and New

Zealand its third warmest.

Frigid polar air plummeted into parts of

Europe and the southeast United States.

Angola, Botswana and Namibia were gripped by

severe drought.

Heavy monsoon rains led to severe floods on the

India-Nepal border.

Heavy rains and floods impacted northeast China and the eastern Russian

Federation.

Heavy rains and floods affected Sudan and

Somalia.

Major drought affected southern China.

Northeastern Brazil experienced its worst drought in the past 50

years.

The widest tornado ever observed struck El Reno, Oklahoma in the United

States.

Extreme precipitation led to severe floods in

Europe’s Alpine region and in Austria, Czech Republic, Germany,

Poland, and Switzerland.

Israel, Jordan, and Syria were struck by

unprecedented snowfall.

Greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere reached

record highs.

The global oceans reached new record high

sea levels.

Key Global Climate Events of 2013 - WMO

Crisis Management & Emergency Response BACKGROUND

March 2014 - World Meteorological Organization Annual Climate Statement for 2013:“….many of the extreme events of 2013 were consistent with what we would expect as a result of human-induced climate change. We saw heavier precipitation, more intense heat, and more damage from storm surges and coastal flooding as a result of sea level rise…..” (WMO Secretary-General).

In conjunction with this statement, higher sea surface temperatures (SST) are known to add energy to storms “increasing the intensity of tropical cyclones and typhoons”. Elevated SST reportedly contributed to the Category 5 Super Typhoons Odette (Sep-2013) and Yolanda (Nov-2013) that impacted the Philippines and other Asian regions*.

The historical annual timeline of Typhoons in the region would suggest preparations to commence in early May, with monitoring and readiness maintained through the remainder of the calendar year.

PRE CRISISPrevention,

Preparedness, and Mitigation

OSI Crisis Management auditing and development revolves around three primary disaster phases:

Crisis Management & Emergency Response SCOPE

12

An initial pre-defined scope of work to support Client Crisis Management Planning would include, but not be limited to the following:

Audit existing emergency response plans both general and specific to

local Manila based assets, and provincial locations where

business is may be conducted.

Prioritize the review and auditing of plans for response to hazard events associated with the Typhoon season.

Incorporate “lessons learned” resultant of response to the 2014

Typhoon Yolanda crisis event.

Recommend and development plans for response to other

prioritized hazard events as local or provincial requirements are

identified.

Business continuity and hazard impact on personnel, contractors, suppliers, and business units both

locally and provincial.

Confirm organization of Crisis Management Team

for both local and provincial support requirements.

Incorporate advance warning system for

expediting threat event notification.

Audit general guidelines for Command Centers & Staging

Areas, Communications, Emergency Contact, Reporting.

Training, Media Response, LGU

Liaison.

Crisis Management & Emergency Response SCOPE

Through years of in country “lessons learned”, OSI’s approach to crisis management and emergency response planning is aimed at streamlining processes and guidelines so personnel are not inundated with volumes of reading material in order to understand and affect quick response to crisis.

Crisis Management & Emergency Response METHODOLOGY

SIMPLICITY is the key direction for event response guidelines. The intent is to have two manuals:

14

Management ManualProvides the concept and program development. This manual would include Emergency Response Team development, and guidelines pertaining to program specific matters such as Command Centers, Communications, Emergency Contacts, Evacuation, Reporting, Media Response, and Training. This manual will also provide a more thorough descriptive review of cyclical response requirements for each specific crisis event.

Emergency Response Guidelines A manual restricted to single page guidelines for each identified crisis situation, and is considered the operational guide for employees. Keeping inline with simplicity, contents are restricted to quick reference steps to implement immediate responses, and primary emergency communications information.

Crisis Management & Emergency Response METHODOLOGY

Crisis Categories - In line with maintaining simplicity with the comprehension and implementation of crisis management responses, crisis categories are restricted to two levels:

A Category 2 crisis is an incident that can be best handled at the local level, where support at the national level is limited.

A Category 1 crisis is and incident which seriously endangers the safety of Abbott employees and provincial sales representative, which seriously impact on the company’s ability to conduct business. Such incidents are managed and supported at the national level.

15

Crisis Management & Emergency Response METHODOLOGY

Crisis Management Teams members are designated and based upon specific local and provincial crisis management requirements. The below are typical CMT designations, where an individual team member may assume one or more responsibilities, and not all positions may need to be utilized.
