What if?.... 

The news is full of high profile disasters and crises and the impact they have on people’s lives, businesses and the environment.

Thankfully Crises or Disasters don’t happen every day, but when they do we need to be prepared to respond to them.

Of course we don’t know what will happen, when it will happen or exactly what the impact will be. Developing plans for every possible eventuality is not recommended, but taking some time to ask the  WHAT IF? questions is. In this way it is possible to take the necessary steps to prepare, in order to  anticipate, respond to and recover from a disaster or disruptive event. We call this RESILIENCE.
