**3. Application of RM to draft an emergency management plan**

It is impossible to draft a detailed contingency plan for incidents that might disrupt normality in a manufacturing plant without taking into account the particular characteristics of the unit, which can be very varied. This is why we just provide an example of the kind of rationale that can be applied to these situations.

In the present example, our object of study will be the effect of a disaster on the production of a manufacturing plant. We are not going to focus on the incident itself but on its effects on manufacturing. Consequently, the factors or elements that we will take into account are the following:


*Dealing with Unforeseen Circumstances. Implication of Risk Management in the COVID-19… DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.97408*


Next, as we previously said, we detect the hazards that are associated with each factor/element, we assess their significance and finally, we determine the necessary actions.

**Table 3** develops these ideas. It goes without saying that real cases require real data and that corrective actions should be carefully described in reports ad hoc.
