How do organizations and companies effectively anticipate, plan for, test, respond to and recover from a crisis? Crises come in many forms — from single events to prolonged exposure. Fire, flood, heat, cold, tornado, loss of utilities, outbreak, equipment failure, accident and injury are examples. Effective organizations understand these risks, their likelihood, and develop plans, strategies and tactics that can be refined and tested over time. Gain a valuable overview along with the applicable methods and knowledge needed to effectively respond to crisis. Preparation is key.
