Government fleet operations must be prepared to maintain service during a wide range of disruptions, from severe weather to unexpected emergencies that can result in fuel shortages, network outages, and other operational challenges.
The Disaster Preparation & Response Guide offers a structured approach to help fleet managers develop response plans that maintain asset readiness and support service continuity during emergencies.
The guide brings together in-depth emergency planning models that address both pre-incident preparation and post-incident recovery. Topics include vehicle staging protocols, backup communications planning, EV and charger readiness, and streamlined insurance claims processes to expedite recovery.
The resource also incorporates safety and training guidelines to equip government fleet personnel with the tools needed to operate effectively during disaster scenarios.
Developed for operational environments where real-time decision-making is critical, the guide includes:
A continuity planning model to maintain fleet operations through disruptions.
Checklists covering fuel card access, charging procedures, and asset relocation.
Guidance on integrating video-based tools for event documentation and claims support.
Best practices for physical asset protection, personnel safety, and interagency coordination.
