The Disaster Experience --- A Mock Disaster Exercise

Chances are that while you read this, an unexpected disaster is causing organizational stress and confusion and is affecting its long-term ability to provide products and services to its customers. Is the organization prepared to handle it? Will it be able to recover? Disasters of every shape, size, look and feel happen all the time, affecting businesses, people's jobs, lives and families, and ultimately, the economy. How would you handle an unexpected disruption?

Business Continuity: Expect the Unexpected

Question: How do organizations continue to function in the event of a major disruption? Answer: By executing their Business Continuity Plans. But first, you must have one.  Learn the types of disruptions that can affect an ongoing business operation and how to develop a strategy to handle these unforeseen occurrences. We will discuss Business Continuity vs. Disaster Recovery, the principles of emergency management (awareness, preparation, mitigation, response, & recovery), the components of a Business Continuity Plan and what you need to do to get started developing a plan.

Ten Keys to an Effective Business Continuity Plan

Developing and maintaining a Business Continuity or Disaster Recovery Plan is a daunting task. All you hear is...

  • "We need to develop a Business Continuity Plan, but it’s too labor intensive."
  • "Maintaining the BCP takes too much time."
  • "We have this great Plan, but no one knows what’s in it."

Sometimes it seems like only divine intervention will help. Learn the keys to developing, implementing and maintaining an effective business continuity management program.

It all begins with the fundamentals of emergency management and how these relate to the threats and hazards that could affect you - Weather, Workplace Violence, Pandemic, Cyber-crime, etc.  What threats & hazards concern you?

This moderated session is your chance to discuss your perspectives and ask the questions about the threats and hazards that concern you most.
