Recent Disasters

Recent disasters demonstrate the realities and risks associated with a terrorist act, flood, fire, hurricane, tornado, etc. and the effect they have on communities throughout the United States. These disasters have also shown the importance of contingency planning.

Federal guidelines on contingency planning specifically state the guidelines for an alternative site facility. In addition, these guidelines require the guarantee of availability of an alternative site to be in writing and be operational in a short period of time after the disaster has occurred.
