Hurricanes, earthquakes, and other catastrophic events bring the need for disaster preparedness into sharp relief. Companies of all sizes, as well as individuals, must have clear protocols around disaster planning, ranging from immediate response to an event to business recovery practices and proactive defenses against future occurrences.
Without proper planning and collaboration, a disaster amplifies risk around many facets of an organization’s operations, from employees and staffing to proprietary data on clients and customers, vendor relationships and the supply chain. No disaster happens without serious, long-ranging effects on a business, but proper planning can mitigate these impacts.
