Risk Planning (and Emergency Response Planning) are very broad and can be quite complicated. Many disaster and emergency response contractors offer an easier way for facilities to have an Emergency Response Plan in place for little or no cost. In a rapidly changing and closely interconnected world, you need to have an Emergency Priority Response Plan in place. Be sure the contractor you choose to help you with your Emergency Response Plan is absolutely qualified and able to support you when you need them most! DID YOU KNOW THAT MORE THAN 50% OF THOSE COMPANIES THAT SUSTAIN A MAJOR DISASTER, NEVER OPEN BACK UP FOR BUSINESS - if they did not have an ERP established!

I know many qualified contractors around the U.S. and am happy to recommend one to you so you can get a Plan in place quickly! Email me at: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Those tasked with disaster planning should ask hard questions of any tapped resource:

• Is it reliable? Does the material offer value to practitioners in public policy, finance, safety, security, insurance, etc? Do the authors know what they are talking about?
• Is it easy to access? Is the writing free from the business jargon and clichés clogging our communication channels? Clarity of expression is essential.
• What is its cost, if any? Are its issues and conditions up-to-date? Does it have timeless qualities that give it permanent value?
• Is it concerned with both strategic and tactical issues? Does it address my particular problems and, at the same time, the larger issues of my own and other organizations?
• Can I depend on the Disaster Response Contractor to be there when I need them, and are they qualified to help me?
• Finally, does it challenge my thinking? Materials and ideas that support only preconceived conclusions are dangerous.
