How do we survive surviving? By Ann SanCartier for Firestorm

Imagine.  You head to pick up your child from school and abruptly, the only thing separating you, your daughter and your sister from 200 mile per hour winds are two collapsed walls supporting each other in a triangular formation. You hold your daughter with adrenaline-induced strength while you scream and pray as the realistic fear of being sucked up into a monster overwhelms you. That’s what happened to a family I spoke with who survived the Moore, Oklahoma Tornado. As they cowered for protection at Briarwood Elementary, what we now know to be an E5 tornado, whipped them with flying debris leaving their feet, arms, and heads lacerated by its ferocity.

Business Continuity Self-Assessment

During a Crisis is Not the Time to Assess Your Crisis Plan

Can your business survive a disruption or crisis? Most organizations believe they can—until one occurs. Do you have a culture of preparedness within your organization? Find out before a disruption tests your resiliency.

Firestorm's Business Continuity Self-Assessment offers a diagnostic tool that provides an in-depth evaluation of your organization's preparedness. Firestorm's Business Continuity Self-Assessment:

  • Measures current performance levels and assesses your readiness to prevent and respond to acts of workplace violence.
  • Establishes a baseline, and sets up process improvement metrics to ensure the best possible return on the resources invested.
  • Is completed in a sixty minute interview.

How Firestorm's Business Continuity Self-Assessment Works

Description of Service: The self-assessment is a series of fifty plus questions that are divided across the following areas of a Business Continuity Program:

  1. Program Policy
  2. Risk Analysis
  3. Business Impact Analysis
  4. Strategy
  5. Incident Response
  6. Crisis Management/Communications
  7. Business Continuity & IT-Disaster Recovery Plans
  8. Communicable Illness
  9. Maintenance
  10. Testing
  11. Training

Through a single group interview, Firestorm engages in a conversational series of questions with key representatives from your Business Continuity Program. Each question is designed to capture a specific, structured response from a multiple choice selection.

Upon completion of the interview, Firestorm produces a narrative analysis that includes a calculated Preaction Index Rating™ and a chart demonstrating overall scoring by the key dimensions, as well as an overall ranking of program "readiness".

If needed, Firestorm will propose a strategy for your company to implement a Business Continuity Program that will align with industry best practices.
