Incident Management Plan Risk Assessment Reports

While typically a function of the crisis response team (CRT), an IMP risk assessment report can in some instances be useful for the incident response team (IRT) to indicate how a crisis event may impact the company from a grassroots perspective, as well as any recommendations on how both the IRT and CRT should counter or mitigate these risks. This will feed immediate concerns and information from the source of the event in order to supplement the data response materials forwarded during the initial stages of a crisis. A basic IMP risk assessment of how the event may affect the company can prove useful to support risk mitigation at all levels in the early stages of an emergency.

The IMP risk assessment should not be confused with the responsibilities of the crisis response team and specialist responders, who should conduct more comprehensive risk assessments and evaluations during and following the crisis. The IMP risk assessment is a tool designed to provide an immediate and local perspective of the problems and impacts likely to occur that might fall outside of normal reporting formats within the IMP. The following provides an example of a simple IMP risk assessment report:
