Last week it was Melbourne, this week Christchurch. Two very different cities dealing with different environmental states.
Some time ago, I wrote about the need for business continuity/disaster recovery planning in the case of natural events such as the ones that befell the Christchurch region. Although an event impacting you
and your business can come in many forms, we need to be ready.
For Christchurch, attention has turned to the rebuild and the recovery of the wider community and the economy. There is much to do and there are hundreds of civil and construction projects on the go - even Wanganui companies are contributing to and benefiting from this activity.
In speaking with locals and business leaders last week, it would not be surprising if an entire industry arises that specialises in business continuity and disaster recovery.
The shame of it is that it shouldn't take a negative event to get you thinking about securing your businesses future via business continuity strategies. This is a specialist area and too often overlooked.
