SUMMARY:Key Components to Successful Business Continuity in the Face of an 
 Emergency
DESCRIPTION:Presentation by: Thomas “Tom” L. Mitchell\, Jr.\, Lt Col (r
 et)\, USAF\, CFM\, CFMJ\, IFMA Fellow  Tom Mitchell bio\n\nA threat can b
 e defined as an indication or warning of probable trouble. An emergency oc
 curs when the onset of the threat creates an event that negatively impacts
  the human safety\, property assets and/or production capability of an org
 anization\, community or society. Emergencies can be man-made or natural a
 nd are unavoidable in many cases\, particularly in the case of earthquakes
  in Haiti and Chile\, Hurricanes Katrina\, Rita and Wilma in the US\, and 
 the Tsunami in Japan. However the real issue is not the advent of a threat
  nor its manifestation into an emergency situation\, but when that situati
 on becomes a disaster and causes widespread human\, material\, economic or
  environmental losses. Facility managers are empowered with the resources 
 and responsibilities to help their leadership and facility occupants' deal
  with threats\, reduce their vulnerability\, and protect real property use
 d to sustain business continuity. This involves conducting planning\, prep
 aredness\, response and recovery actions in a comprehensive and coordinate
 d way to respond to the whole spectrum of the emergency needs. This educat
 ional session will share where the application of key emergency management
  actions during the facility management life cycle process—planning\, ac
 quisition\, operations and maintenance\, and disposal—can help the facil
 ity manager protect their personnel\, assets and operation from the pendin
 g onset\, arrival\, and aftermath of an emergency.\n\nLearning Objectives:
 \n\n• Identify best practices that prevent or reduce your company's lev
 el of internal and external risk\n\n• Recommend what types of training 
 should take place for effective emergency preparedness &amp\; response\n\n
 • Describe planning actions used to support life safety\, facility prot
 ection &amp\; business continuity efforts\n\n• Recognize emergency resp
 onse &amp\; recovery procedures that re-establish critical business operat
 ions\n\nCore Competencies: Emergency Preparedness and Business Continuity
