Why invest in preparedness? A state of emergency could bring an organization to a point in which its ongoing existence may be at risk due to severe damage caused to the usability of physical infrastructure, break down in the supply chain, loss of critical human resources and difficulties with cash flows.
Beyond the issue of the physical existence, the organization needs to address the issues of customers and suppliers' confidence as part of the "day after" readiness.
Due to the severe implications that the state of emergency may have on an organization, the importance of preparing the organization for various disasters is as important as the everyday management issues of the organization. An organization that would prepare beforehand to handle extreme events will allow itself a short recovery time and will minimize the financial damages that may result from such an event. When disaster strikes, only those who had prepared in Advance and had implemented a readiness plan could perform and ensure the ongoing activity of their organization.
