Beyond the ERP Binder: Building Real Emergency Readiness

February 04, 2026 • Dr. Jason Starke • Season 5 • Episode 1

An Emergency Response Plan is more than a document - it’s a living system.

In this episode of Safety Chats, Senior Safety Managers Anne Marie Sollazzo and Todd Thomas discuss what real emergency readiness looks like beyond the ERP binder. Drawing from real-world experience, they explore common gaps in emergency planning, the value of drills and lessons learned, and why preparation can’t wait until after everything else is built.
