Notification Scripts
This procedure is to be used by all [your compnay] Company employees when
contacting other employees at home to notify them of the occurrence of a disaster.
The purpose of this procedure is to standardize the information given to employees
regarding a disaster and to prevent disclosure of information regarding the disaster
to anyone outside of [your compnay].
Individuals making notification phone calls as a result of a disaster should also be
aware of the fact that it is possible that the employee was at the site of the disaster
when it occurred. Using this script will prevent unnecessary panic for the family
members of the employee.
