The Need to Communicate is Never Higher Than When Dealing With Recovery and Business Continuity Efforts.
Recent events in Haiti and Chile demonstrate that the unthinkable can and will happen. Effective communications plays such a critical role in saving lives, speeding relief efforts, and bringing public and private organizations back on line that the possibility of having all communication methods being down at once must be considered. But how should a comprehensive preparedness plan be constructed to achieve resilient communications in the event of a disaster? What is the right level of resources that should be allocated for this type of preparedness? If we assume all communications services are out - what is the business impact? Can we get by with satellite phones to support our recovery plans? Various best practices are now emerging to address these challenges.
This paper explores the challenges of being prepared for such an event, as well as survival scenarios that depend on resilient communications capabilities required by recovery efforts.
