Toward Integrated Emergency Preparedness and Response Planning

by Thomas A. Horan, Benjamin L. Schoole

In this issue of CBR, we focus on this very same question under the broad topic of emergency preparedness and disaster recovery planning. Our goal is to help you build a resilient organization -- one that will be in the best position possible to "weather the storm." That storm could come in the form of a literal storm, as was the case with Hurricane Katrina in the US or the tsunami that hit Southeast Asia, or it could come in the form of a terrorist attack of major proportions or a security breach of the firm’s infrastructure. But, as our contributors remind us, it doesn’t have to be a major large-scale event. It could be a localized flood, a protracted power outage, a fire in your building, or, a perennial favorite in my hometown of Ithaca, New York: an ice storm that cripples the town’s infrastructure.
