Preparing For Terror: A RM How-To I grew up during the cold wara time when duck-and-cover was practiced in classrooms, when children feared the sound of an overhead plane as the first strike of an “invasion,” when people were encouraged to build and provide civil defense shelters in their homes.
So d?j? vu sets in when I hear officials from the Department of Homeland Security talk about citizen preparedness and disaster supply kits. But theres a lot more to it than duct tape and plastic, and its critical for businesses to recognize that.
When businesses set out to develop reasonable response and recovery plans, the primary goal, of course, is the same as that for fires, tornadoes, earthquakes and other perils: protecting the life and health of employees and others who might be on the premises. Secondary goals are to protect property and revenue streams as much as possible.
