Business Continuity Planning
The 2005 hurricane season amplified the importance of continuity planning for local and state governments and private industry. Not only were essential government services like water and electricity disrupted, but also the ability of agencies to continue IT operations and daily services to citizens. Each day that critical infrastructure and businesses failed to gain full operating capabilities represented loss of revenue and economic stability. The disaster also dramatically drove home the fact that having the technology to receive and communicate information is critical to coordinated response and recovery operations.
