Disaster & Recovery Planning A Guide for Facility Managers Fifth Edition

Newly revised and updated, this best-selling book devoted to exploring the complexities of disaster preparedness and business continuity, now includes the latest information on the threats associated with dirty bombs, as well as chemical and biological agents and weapons. Also updated in this edition are disaster planning and recovery issues, regulatory influences and emergency preparedness. This text speaks both to disaster prevention, as well as "controlling" the effects of a disaster on a company's operations. Statistics are presented which exemplify the outcome of past disaster/emergency declarations such as Hurricane Katrina. Other critical areas covered include statistical data on workplace violence, regulator influence, effective mitigation strategies, contingency planning, loss prevention, facility evacuation, employee training, computer and data protection, bomb threat response, standby power, self-inspection, enlisting the media's assistance in recovery planning, and more.
