Business Continuity is a process that ensures that all levels of an organization have a fully tested and integrated Business Continuity Program in place should the company experience any form of crisis or disaster.  Prevention/mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery are all critical processes that must be fully developed and implemented through policy & procedures as well as formalized training programs for organizations to be well prepared for the many natural and manmade disasters than can occur today.  Hurricanes, tornados, terrorism, cyber crimes, and fires are just a few of the situations that can develop causing chaos in an organization within a matter of minutes.  Some say it is “irresponsible” for today’s organizations to fail to properly prepare for crisis situations; the question is “not if but when will they occur”? 

Organizations must take measures to prepare for these occurrences in ways that will minimize their impact on its short-term and long-term success.  A culture of awareness and confidence must be developed within each organization.
