Planning for natural and human-caused catastrophic events can no longer be placed on the back burner. Recent findings from the 9/11 Commission show that disaster preparedness is the cost of doing business in the post 9/11 world.

This commission has urged credit and insurance industries to rate U.S. organizations based on compliance with the new national preparedness standard (NFPA 1600). How would your organization measure up to these new standards? Is your HR department prepared for the unthinkable: hurricanes, tornadoes, an employee or their spouse on the rampage, even a terrorist attack?

Learn how to comply with new government standards and ensure business continuity in the event of a disaster. Participate in the all-new HR Hero audio conference:

Crisis Management for HR: New Requirements for Avoiding Liability

• An overview of the essential elements common to all business continuity plans
• How to obtain the active participation and leadership of senior management -- the key to any successful business continuity plan
• Why it’s necessary to continuously refine your pre-event and crisis event planning through practice and simulation

• The crisis management team: considerations in selection and its responsibilities before, during, and after a natural catastrophe
• Whether an employer can be sued for failing to protect its workers and/or facilities from unknown acts of terrorism
