Sometimes communicating the various facets of Business Continuity Management (BCM) can be difficult to do to those who aren't well-versed in the industry. We use our own terminology and concepts when communicating BCM - or Disaster Planning - and often that just creates more confusion for listeners. This episode will focus on several key words beginning with the letter C that can be used to help people understand what Crisis Management & Communication is and its importance in the overall BCM/DR world. Tune and see if your Crisis Management & Communications plans and protocols capture these C's.
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.
