Igniting Enduring Cultures of Earthquake Preparedness
An organization’s emergency management, business continuity, and facilities teams aim to protect the heart of the enterprise – namely the lives and livelihoods of its people. To meet this aim, all staff – from the CEO to the production floor – must become active members in the company’s preparedness culture. Tipping Point Resilience attendees will learn about:
- The role of household preparedness in their business continuity structure
- The science and history of your local earthquake zone
- The infrastructural impact of a major seismic event
- The limitations of the policy/compliance structure in promoting workplace resilience
- How workplace culture can thwart or propel household preparedness and organizational resilience
- Messaging tactics that go beyond “build a kit/make a plan/stay informed”
- Replicable case studies of how real companies have prepared for really big threats.
- How to turn the tide in your company’s preparedness culture
