Firestorm

Mission
Firestorm believes that a culture of preparedness is the foundation of success. Such a culture centers your organization on sound governance principles of responsibility and accountability. It enables and guides your organization should you face hostile conditions or if your business environment is compromised.

Disaster readiness and enterprise value go hand-in-hand. Both are dynamic, forward-looking and expectations-based. The ability of management to plan for unexpected business-compromising situations, and be effective in turning them around, is more important in driving business recovery than the direct financial consequences of the disaster. Promoting and enforcing a culture of readiness protects a company’s assets. Firestorm’s Disaster Due Diligence™ process does just that.

According to the 9/11 Commission Report, 85 percent of the infrastructure in America is in the private sector and “Preparedness is not a luxury, it is a cost of doing business.” The Red Cross states that 70,000 disasters occur annually in the United States. The Department of Labor has identified that 40 percent of businesses struck by a disaster never reopen and of those that do, 25 percent close within two years.

To address these concerns, Congress has mandated that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and FEMA establish a certification program for Business Continuity Plans in the private sector under Public Law 110-53, Title IX. Today, the DHS certification is “voluntary.” However, the establishment of these best practices and corporate governance responsibilities will force companies to have plans that must be developed, trained, and exercised. These create sales opportunities for you.
