The number of declared major disasters nearly doubled in the 1990s compared to the previous decade. As a result, preparedness has become a critical issue for business continuity. Due to more recent disasters, there has been an increase in the awareness of the need to address the human factor when planning for an emergency.

Consultation will begin to identify the specifics of an organization’s continuity planning including:

• Risk Assessment

• Incident Management

• Critical operations for survival and recovery of the business

• Employee needs

• Customer needs

• Internal and external communication plans

FEI provides Specialized Support Services:

• Constant state of readiness

• 24/7/365 activation and access via an Emergency Notification System

• Immediate incident assessment and response recommendation

Though each situation is unique, consultation and planning will result in an organization being better prepared to respond to the needs of its employees, customers and community.
