Preparing Makes Business Sense.

"How quickly your company can get back to business after a terrorist attack or tornado, a fire or flood often depends on emergency planning done today.

When you also consider that the number of declared major disasters nearly doubled in the 1990's compared to the previous decade, preparedness becomes an even more critical issue. Though each situation is unique, any organization can be better prepared if it plans carefully, puts emergency procedures in place, and practices for emergencies of all kinds."
