Disasters, including technological, natural, and manmade, have increased exponentially, making this book essential for organizations and students in areas such as Business Management, Business Continuity, Disaster Recovery, Information Security, Risk Management, Project Management, Audit, Compliance, and IT.

This book takes a complicated subject and breaks it down into plain English, allowing for concepts, definitions, and so much more to be absorbed and understood. It offers a detailed understanding of what is crucial in Business Continuity Management, and the practical steps and stories help the reader implement each phase of planning including: Project Management, Gap Analysis, Risk Evaluation and Control, Business Impact Analysis, Strategic Planning, Emergency Response and Operations, Awareness and Training, Maintaining and Exercising Plans, Public Relations and Crisis Coordination, and more. Unlike other books where you are offered only a checklist, this book teaches through stories, practical applications, and yes, bullet pointed checklists, too.
