​​​​What your organization does in the first hour of a crisis or event will shape the outcome forever. Response to and recovery from an incident – whether it be active assailant, act of terrorism or natural disaster- requires a culture of preparedness and inclusion of the entire facility or organization.

Your success in response and recovery and your organization’s reputation depends on it. Through a series of scenarios, participants will take some important steps in recognizing the preparedness and planning responsibilities their organization requires, from the CEO to the most recently hired employee. A culture of planning must be a base value of the organization. It is as important as the product or service your organization provides.
