摘要

Negligence analysis often revolves around the exercise of reasonable care that will either prevent or minimize the risk of an accident or the injuries suffered therefrom. Emergency action plans are just a reasonable, logical extension of existing analysis. Plans to respond to a disaster are just as integral in negligence analysis as exercising reasonable care to prevent an accident. Emergency action plans are just as critical in minimizing losses as design, construction, maintenance, operations, and inspection. The duty of reasonable care should extend to taking steps to minimize the danger of an emergency, whether from natural or human causes, through the implementation of an emergency action plan. Such a plan should in fact be an integral part of the "operations" of the facility. Indeed, emergency action plans are well established by government, industry and professional standards. We require smoke detectors, sprinkler systems, fire extinguishers, and fire escapes to minimize the risks of fires. Emergency action plans may be just as effective in saving lives and minimizing damages. We are not positing that every home or small merchant should prepare an elaborate plan. We are stating that where the risks are significant, the potential loss of life and property damage is great, and the costs and difficulties of preparing an emergency action plan that will minimize damages and impacts are low, the law imposes a duty of reasonable care to prepare such a plan based upon the reasonable foreseeability of these risks. The plans should be simple, but flexible. Once adopted, the emergency action plan is a dynamic document and process, which should be periodically reviewed, revised and tested. Let us finish with an adage frequently used by engineers: "Failing to plan is planning to fail."
