It is something that we all need to think about. In today’s world, the risks and threats are growing each day. It is time for all businesses to be prepared.
How can this critical task be accomplished in all organizations? In some companies, a large budget may be devoted to the task. While in others, a manager may decide to have the computer room supervisor do the BC planning. In some instances, the person selected to start the BC planning may have very little experience.
How can the novice planner tackle this task? What steps can be taken to educate and train those who are new to business continuity planning? How can the training be accomplished quickly and inexpensively?

This video is filled with facts, statistics and much, much more!
Disaster Recovery Hurricane Video
From June to November, hurricanes form in the Atlantic and pose danger to the United States. These powerful storms also form in the Pacific where they are called typhoons; and in the Indian Ocean, where they’re called cyclones. But whatever their names, these storms all pack the same ingredients: strong winds, extreme low pressure and tons of moisture.
This video contains footage of past hurricanes and their damage. Lessons learned and recovery methods are also included. See firsthand the devastation which occurred in Galveston in 1900 where 8,000 people lost their lives. Witness the destruction of Hurricane Camille along the gulf coast in 1969.

Disaster Recovery Tornado Video
Twisters can form anywhere. They can strike in any country or any state if the conditions are right. But businesses in the United States are especially vulnerable, since more tornados form in the skies of the U.S. then any other part of the world.
See firsthand the damage these twisters cause and learn how others recovered from the destruction.
