Emergency Response - Business Continuity Planning
Lost in the politically charged release of the 9/11 Commission's
findings are the potential ramifications that it will have on private
property owners. |
|
Legislation approved by Congress in December
(Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004), and signed into law shortly thereafter by
President Bush implements the recommendations of the 9-11 Commission
with respect to private sector preparedness. One section of the bill
includes a passage taken directly from the 9-11 report with respect to
private sector preparedness, emergency response planning and business
continuity; "(1) DHS should encourage private-sector adoption of an
emergency preparedness standard "such as" the American National Standard Institute's (ANSI) NFPA 1600 standard for Disaster/Emergency Management and Business Continuity Programs, and (2) the insurance industry and
credit rating agencies should "consider a company's compliance with
standards for private-sector disaster and emergency preparedness" when
making underwriting/credit-worthiness decisions."
