Agree temporary staff structure and shifts if necessary and consider temporarily increasing working hours, in consultation with HR. If staff are unable to get to their normal place of work, consider flexible working methods such as working from home or different working hours. Follow specific team action cards – Annex E 2.4.2 Loss of Property Initial coordination of the incident should be managed from the backup location shown at 2.2. Consider staff working from home. Consider whether staff could work from alternative premises. Identify suitable alternative premises in liaison with Property Services.
