One of the hottest topics in the non-profit, community
benefit area these days is that of preparing for the unthinkable and unplanned
occurrences that may befall our organizations. We live in a very unpredictable
world today as you know. This sometimes
is the result of Mother Nature herself via ultra-severe hurricanes, typhoons,
earthquakes, wide-spread power outages, and the like. Other times it is the result of the lack of
stability in our geo-political situation worldwide from terrorists attacks and
bombings such as 9-11.
Nevertheless, because our non-profit, community benefit
organizations are so important to the lifeblood of our communities, we all need
to be prepared with risk management and business continuation plans so that the
valuable services we provide can go on seamlessly in case these disaster
situations should occur. This is so
important that now the preparation of a risk management and business
continuation plan is considered a best practice and is virtually a MUST for
community benefit organizations to develop.
Be pro-active, be preventative, and be one-step ahead of disaster!!
If you do not already have a risk management and business
continuation plan for your organization, you would do well to get started on
establishing one now. If you need help
in finding model risk management and business continuation plans, we can help
you locate one.
