It's not a matter of IF an emergency disrupts your business, it's a matter of WHEN.

 

The Business Emergency Planning Institute, the successor organization to the American Red Cross Business Emergency Planning Association, has two goals:  to be a business continuity planning resource for businesses, non profits and government agencies and to promote the importance of business continuity planning to those who have yet to fully appreciate the vital role it plays in keeping businesses—the backbone of our economy—running.

Is Business Continuity Planning really something to think about?

Each quater SDPL Solutions based in the UK compiles a tally of major incidencees of business interuptions around the world. This is not an exhaustive list by any measure. In fact it is comprised of incidencees large enough to reach the attention of a company across the ocean. So you can imagine the hundreds of "lessor" incidences of business disrutptions that occur each and every day.

You can see the full reports produced by SDPL Solutions for First Quarter 2010 and Second Quarter 2010.

Here's a look at a summary of incidents that occur just in the USA over those periods:

2010
Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4
Building/Infrastructure Failure 2
Explosion 1 2
Fire 14 10
Flood 4 7
Hazmat 2 8
IT System Failure 5 2
Malicious Software Attack 4
Oil Spill 12 1
Other - volcanic ash 0 1
Power System Failure 7 1
Public Network Failure 2
Temporary Evacuation 9 5

So you can see why we say "It's not a matter of IF an emergency disrupts your business, it's a matter of WHEN"
