Make a Plan, then Master It Alright, let’s get real for a second. Emergencies happen, and when they do, you don’t want to be the one running in circles yelling, “What do I do?!” Here’s the deal: know your stuff before things go sideways. Where’s the fire extinguisher? Where’s the water shut-off? What’s that weird-looking panel on the wall? These are the basics every security guard should have locked in their brain. Think of it as your own personal treasure map, except the treasure is saving the day. But don’t stop there! While you’re walking around on your shift, start playing little “what if” games in your head. “What if a fire broke out right now? What’s my first move?” or “What if I had to evacuate this building in a hurry?” It’s like turning your job into a choose-your-own-adventure story, except way less dramatic (and hopefully without any dragons). The more you practice in your mind, the quicker you’ll be able to react when something really happens. Now, here’s the kicker: every building has its own Emergency Action Plan (EAP). If you don’t know it, study it! Know where people are supposed to go, what you’re supposed to do, and how to make sure everyone’s safe. Once you’ve got the EAP down, run those scenarios through your head too. That way, when the real thing happens, you won’t just be reacting—you’ll be ready to lead.

Be Prepared in Mind by having disciplined yourself to be obedient to every order, and also by having thought out beforehand any accident or situation that might occur, so that you know the right thing to do at the right moment, and are willing to do it.

Everyone complains about "fire-fighting", but what can you do against it? In RevOps we end up fire fighting. But it is common to any discipline with projects that run in parallel. Below you see 3 techniques to reduce fire-frighting. Let's look at each. → Imagine the worst-case scenario While you are in the planing phase of a project. Imagine the worst-case outcome. List everything that could go wrong at the same time. This is will force you: - to think of prevention measures - avoid the problem in the first place - get you to a resolve faster Sometimes it is good to be a pessimist. → Build in a buffer in your estimate It is guaranteed that your time estimate is off. Add at least 15% more time then you think it will take. We humans are just really bad at estimation. Thousands of books have been written on this topic. Accepting the fact is a good foundation. And even if your estimate is correct. Other unplanned crises will occur. You can recycle the time for something else. Worst case: you go earlier home. (Sorry, best case...) → Perform a triage for crisis In the emergency room (ER) not all crisis are equal. The same goes "fires" in business. You need to perform a preliminary assessment to determine the urgency of a fire. You do a triage. The priority can go up or down depend on this assessment I recommend to develop triage for your "RevOps tickets". But be transparent about your triage. So "patients" are "ok" with waiting. Like in the ER some fires will have to wait. P.S. What do you do reduce fire-fighting?

The Consequences of a Fire Incident: Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Late! ?? Fire incidents can cause devastating consequences, both financially and emotionally. From damaging valuable property to risking lives, a fire can turn everything upside down in seconds. Aside from the immediate destruction, businesses may face long-term losses, including expensive repairs, equipment replacement, and even the disruption of operations. But the biggest consequence? **Loss of life and safety.** Fire can spread rapidly, endangering everyone in the building. This is why it’s critical to take proactive safety measures—installing smoke alarms, having fire extinguishers, and ensuring electrical wiring is done safely. Prevention is key! It’s everyone’s responsibility to be aware and prepared. Don’t wait for disaster to strike before you act. Stay alert, inspect your surroundings, and always follow safety protocols. Have you experienced a fire incident before? Please share your story below and let’s spread fire safety awareness together! ???? #FireSafety #StaySafe #PreventionIsBetter #SafetyAwareness #Freelance #Content #Remote

Will you shout out if you notice this danger ? Imagine for a moment that you are in a public place, a hotel, a bar, a restaurant or even at a conference. Let's see how observant you are and whether you are really aware of the danger you could be in. How many of these do you think you would notice ? 1) Fire doors wedged open or held open with a fire extinguisher. 2) Blocked fire exit doors or routes. 3) Fire alarm panel showing multiple faults. Why you should notice: Well- Here are the dangers they have put you in...... 1) The silent killer......smoke! There is no control of the flow of smoke if the fire doors are wedged open and unable to close and seal shut. 2) Fire ! How do you escape the building if the fire doors are blocked. 3) No warning ! A faulty fire system may not operate correctly or even detect a fire so occupants can afford a quick evacuation. Unfortunately, in fire safety, we see regular repeated fire risks all the time. These are just 3 of the most common. So my question to you is: If you spot one of these risks to life, should you: Just keep quiet and hope the next person says something OR tell the owner or operator of the premises and possibly save lives-including your own. What is the right thing to do ?

After reading the Lahaina Fire Phase 2/Incident Analysis Report, I came away with 7 key takeaways. Here's one that stands out for every emergency manager and public safety leader. Defining your "watch points" and "action points"—and knowing exactly what you'll do when those thresholds are met is incredibly important. When dangerous conditions are forecasted, what actions are you taking to lean forward, mitigate risk, and be ready to respond quickly should something happen? Are you adjusting staffing plans, moving resources, or starting deliberate outreach to the public? When are you sounding the alarms with alerts and warnings? This is a crucial part of getting left of bang. The short window of time between the recognition of dangerous conditions and the incident beginning is when your decisions have the most impact. What you do in that time can make all the difference. But you can't leave it to chance. It's vital to establish these decision points and actions before you’re in the heat of the moment with uncertainty making it hard to figure out where to start. The good news is that this doesn’t take a massive amount of effort. In just a few hours or over a couple of days, you can gather your team and define the thresholds that will drive your actions for each of the risks your community faces. All you need is a whiteboard, Post-it Notes, and some focused discussion. One page per incident is all it takes to summarize these thresholds and initial actions. You don’t need to wait for consensus from a large group or find a time when 25 people have space on their calendars. Just start by outlining what you need to do when the threat is forecasted—and what triggers your decisions. Leverage the attention, emotion, and urgency of reports and lessons like the ones coming out of Lahaina to drive your program and preparedness forward.
