Pay me now or pay me twice later! Hurricane season is here and hopefully Harvey does not have a rain check. Many times Business Continuity Management, Risk Management, Disaster Recovery and Emergency Management remain in a silo in their cubicles, with no time to network and use their synergy to prepare for the next hurricane whose destruction could hand-out pink slips. In this presentation learn what the groups have in common and how their expertise can build a contingency plan for maximum resilience in this Hurricane season
