AWARENESS
A Crisis Plan Is A ‘Must Have’
For Every Company
How would your company evaluate and communicate with employees if
a dirty bomb exploded within a 10-mile radius or your building was
threatened with radioactive, biogical, or chemical agents? Does

up-to-the-minute protection for these types of events? By EDWARD

depend on others to perform their daily business. These interdependencies
become especially critical in the face of disruptions and emergencies.
Without effective collaboration during a crisis, a company can lose
money, customer confidence, market value, and, ultimately, human
life. By MATT WALTON
DATA RECOVERY

It took a tragic event last September to make us all realize the
gravity and importance of implementing a foolproof data backup and
disaster recovery plan. Nothing is ever completely foolproof, though
there are far lesser evils to worry about when trying to protect

How To Work When The Workplace Is Not
Available
Most organizations are exposed to large risk when the workplace
is not available. Recognizing this risk is the first step in developing
a comprehensive “plan B” work plan that leaves every employee

restoration support contractors to know how to coordinate with first

Now Is The Time To Act, If It Is Not Too
Late Already

in a world of grasshopers. We know something is going to happen

The chances of storms, earthquakes and fiery explosions actually
