ABSTRACT
Major disasters such as fires, earthquakes, and even terrorist attacks are possible threats to businesses. Statistics following major disasters have revealed that:
As many as 60 percent of businesses do not reopen after a major disaster.
Without contingency planning, many companies lose a considerable portion of their customer base.
Those organizations that do recover have an emergency operations plan in place, have trained their staff for disaster response on the job and at home, and have formulated both recovery and resumption plans.
