Business Resumption When Disaster Strikes
would be extremely difficult to maintain our current patient load.
Cal-Care does not currently role play as the article suggested because they haven’t had a focus on disaster recovery. I personally, have not prepared a disaster plan for the company. After reading the article and listening to my instructor it has become apparent that this is a serious issue. I disagree with the companies past decisions not to develop a crisis plan. If the company does not want to dedicate some resources to the preservation of the business during a crisis, then they are playing Russian roulette with a loaded gun pointed straight at the heart of the company. Many people rely on our business to be there every day, not only our clients but our employees as well. There must be a disaster plan in place in order to bring the company back to its normal operating speed within the shortest amount of time possible.
