Quakesmart toolkit

The Quakesmart Community Resilience Program moves organizational leaders through a step-by-step process to identify risk, develop a plan, take action and be recognized and inspire others. Following these steps in the QuakeSmart Community Resilience Program as a part of an overall business continuity planning will help protect assets (people, property, operations); sustain the capability to provide goods and services to customers and/or supply chain; maintain cash flow; preserve competitive advantage and reputation; and provide the ability to meet legal, regulatory, financial, and contractual obligations.

Organizations have five options for recognition through the QuakeSmart Community Resilience Program. These levels can be achieved either independently or as a group and include staff, space, systems, structure, and service. The service level is achieved by completing requirements for staff, surroundings, space, system and structure levels in addition to the service requirements.
