When a disaster or crisis strikes, the wish of many organizations is to bounce back from the situation. However, Resilience is not about bouncing back, it's so much more. We talk with best selling authors Jennifer Eggers & Cynthia Barlow and their international best selling book Resilience - It's Not About Bouncing Back. Cynthia and Jennifer will talk to us about where our resilience comes from and how we can make ourselves and organizations, resilient. Jennifer and Cynthia will also give us insight on where resilience comes from; it's not what you might think. A truly enlightening episode on Resiliency not to be missed.
Preparing for the Unexpected is about how people, organizations and communities plan, prepare, test, communicate and respond to sudden unplanned events such as natural and manmade disasters and crises. The show is for everyone who wants an understanding of how plans are created for individuals, organizations and communities and for anyone who wants to know what they can do in their own lives to help protect themselves from unexpected events. There is a myth that disasters happen to others but in reality, they happen to everyone. It's just a matter of when and how well-prepared you are. The greater the level of awareness, communication and knowledge, the quicker one bounces back from adversity. The overall aim of Preparing for the Unexpected is to reduce the suffering, effects and impacts caused as a result of disasters and unexpected life events by increasing knowledge and awareness of Operational Resilience, Business Contingency, Disaster Planning, Crisis Management, and related activities.
