In an Employment Law Alliance (ELA) Employment Matters podcast, “Disaster Planning for Employers and HR,” ES&A Director Trisha Gibo discusses the importance of disaster planning for employers and human resources before a natural disaster occurs, including lessons learned from the tragic 2023 Lahaina fires. Trisha addresses health & safety requirements, contractual obligations, and internal policies, and more. Post-disaster issues include potential business closures, unemployment and other benefits, leaves of absence, reasonable accommodations, and more. Access the podcast here.
