At the Flora CORe Facility, WM has developed a thorough emergency preparedness program (EPP) to ensure that appropriate actions are taken during emergencies. Planning helps to ensure an appropriate response and minimizes confusion, injuries, and property damage. Recognizing that local situations vary, WM requires each facility to anticipate, plan, train, and drill for potential emergencies. The development of an EPP is a critical outcome of the planning process. All employees are familiar with the details of the plan, participate in any associated training and practice drills, and be prepared to execute their individual roles and responsibilities. The site conducts a drill quarterly to respond to the most common emergencies.
