Business Resilience

All business activities are subjected to risks such as technology failure, natural disasters, utility disruption and terrorism, etc. These risks may be potential to generate a crisis, which if left uncontrolled can become a disaster. Even a small business interruption will result in the reduction of revenues, loss in customers or reduction in market share and ultimately, the survival of a business. Therefore, Emergency Preparedness (EP) and Business Continuity Planning (BCP) play an important role in business resilience providing the capability to adequately react to operational disruptions, while protecting safety and welfare of people. Though EP and BCP form important elements of good business management and service provision, as per the literature, EP and BCP have often been overlooked and sometimes even been ignored. Therefore, this paper presents the findings of a comprehensive literature review carried out on EP and BCP concepts to fill the above research gap. The finding will help the researchers working in EP and BCP practices to understand how these concepts have been developed, how they are practiced in the industry and their importance in business survival.

Crisis Management Plan

The security professionals are always talking about Emergency Plan, Emergency Preparedness, Emergency Response, Crisis Management, Crisis Management Plan, Business Continuity Management, Business Continuity Plan. etc. That is a question whichcomes to my mind do we know exactly what these phrases meanings are? My experiences show, usually we have different interpretations on the above mentioned expressions. Briefly we need to have an Emergency Plan to provide our Emergency Preparedness and to be able to take our Emergency Responses in case of a real Emergency situation. If we were able to eliminate the Emergency situation the problemhas been solved. If we had no success the Emergency can be develop a crisis situation which we need to manage by the Crisis Management Plan. As we are over the crisis we need to adopt our Business Continuity Plan to be able to manage our continuous operationor production. The aim of this study to providea useful tool or set up for security leaders on Crisis Management which is a clear security task and not as like Emergency Preparedness which is related to safety organization as Business Continuity is connected to each business functions.

Abstract. Background: The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) health-care system utilizes a multilevel suicide prevention intervention that features the use of standardized safety plans with veterans considered to be at high risk for suicide. Aims: Little is known about clinician perceptions on the value of safety planning with veterans at high risk for suicide. Method: Audio-recorded interviews with 29 VHA behavioral health treatment providers in a southeastern city were transcribed and analyzed using qualitative methodology. Results: Clinical providers consider safety planning feasible, acceptable, and valuable to veterans at high risk for suicide owing to the collaborative and interactive nature of the intervention. Providers identified the types of veterans who easily engaged in safety planning and those who may experience more difficulty with the process. Conclusion: Additional research with VHA providers in other locations and with veteran consumers is needed.
