COVID-19: The importance of the All-Hazards approach to planning
Summary
It is likely that on 9/11/2001, most organizations did not have a recovery plan strategy or specific procedures regarding large commercial aircraft crashing into their facilities. Similarly, many organizations today did not likely have a plan for the hazard potential of a worldwide COVID-19 pandemic which has shut down the economies and disrupted supply chains of nearly every country on the globe. So now, as an example you can develop planning strategies to account for all the “loss of facility” scenarios, whether the cause is fire, flooding, tornado, earthquake, train derailment, or other. Another often missed element is regarding the asset of Image/Reputation where certain hazards can affect and impact the organizational Brand value in the marketplace.
