In today's uncertain world all businesses and organizations face emergencies daily. In most instances these situations are handled relatively easily, and we move forward. Unfortunately, some of these situations expand to the crisis level. Natural disasters can strike with no warning, wreaking havoc and destruction in their wake. Technological and incited disasters are an area of continuing concern for all organizations. In our rapidly-changing world, new threats arise on a regular basis, ones we have never previously considered. If not dealt with effectively and quickly, these events can threaten the reputation and future success of your organization, even its very survival. While supply chain professionals are not typically charged with primary responsibility for emergency management and business continuity, the success or failure of an organization's efforts to continue or resume operations following a disaster likely depends on the supply chain operating at an acceptable level. A failed link in the supply chain can result in the inability to recover operations before the organization experiences grave consequences.
