* How Organizations Prepare to Face Today’s Risks & Hazards
|
You are prepared to respond to emergencies. You have evacuation plans, emergency response procedures, and even plans to deal with terrorism. Today, that’s not enough. Organizations need a comprehensive, integrated plan in place to protect people, property and technology. You need a business continuity plan to cover all the possibilities and make response and recovery possible. Overriding all, however, is the need to preserve life and personal safety… these are always the top priorities.

* Meeting Planners: What is the worst that can happen?
|
Pulling off successful events requires foresight, local intelligence, and planning. From strikes to SARS to wildfires, there is a worst-case scenario lurking in every meeting venue. Organizations must prepare to deal with the worst that could happen – to protect exhibitors, speakers, attendees, employees. One ruined or badly handled event can mean years of rebuilding both reputation and attendance.

* Assessing Your Risk: Planning for the Unexpected
|
The biggest challenge you face when preparing a business continuity/disaster recovery strategy is figuring out what you need to anticipate so you'll know how to prepare. In order to ensure your continuity of operations, you need to assess your organization’s readiness in crucial functional areas. A Business Impact Analysis, or Business Continuity Audit, is the tool that can help you figure it all out.

* Can Your Business Survive A Major Disruption?
|
Studies show that businesses with 500 or fewer employees that experience a major disruption may not survive it. Could your business? If your business continuity or disaster recovery plan has been sitting on the shelf -- or, worse, if you don't have one -- it's time to take a look at what it will take to keep you in business.

* The Crisis Communications Challenge
|
by Rosanne E. Desmone
Somewhere in your organization, there's a crisis waiting to happen...
No organization - big, small, for-profit, not-for-profit, public, or private - is crisis-proof. Regardless of whether you believe it, there is a crisis in your future… perhaps tomorrow, possibly next week or next year, or perhaps not for several years… but it's lurking there. The only real uncertainty is whether you'll be ready for it and can prevent it from becoming a full-scale disaster.

* Threats and Hazards: Event Challenges and Impacts
|
Event disruptions are always a possibility… planning is the key to surviving them. Any organization that runs events should be prepared for anything that could happen – from protecting its exhibitors, speakers, attendees, and employees, to preserving the continuity of its events. Inherent in this is the impact on the organization's reputation. It's entirely possible that one ruined or badly handled event might mean years of rebuilding reputation and attendance.
