This year, Davidson Homes has established a Risk Management Plan.  During our fist quarter,  the Governing Body completed a risk assessment to determine the variety of factors, which could effect the operations and have an impact on the complete and effective service delivery.

The Management plan’s purpose is to anticipate the risks and provide the planning and budgeting to prepare for the variety of unexpected disasters.  Most of the management risks fall into one of the following categories: General Liability, Professional Liability, Liability to Employees, Property Loss, Vehicle-related loss, Contractual Liability, or Business loss/Interruption.

A major part of this planning has been with the creation of the Emergency Management Committee and Plan to enable survival in the event of a man-made disaster, natural disaster, or pandemic. Examples might be: Loss of personnel, Loss of facility, Loss of utility, Loss of Supplies, or Loss of communication.  An example of this type might occur as a result of such hazards as fire, earthquake, flood, etc.

In the first quarter of 2010, Davidson Homes was faced with major state funding cuts, which had a devastating effect on personnel and services.  Time was set aside for analysis and discussion as well as emergency planning to determine how programs would continue to function effectively without impact to the persons served.  The greatest impact was felt at the Deep Creek  Programs.  Through careful planning, the programs were able to continue but only after feeling the effects of budget loss and reduction of staff.
