What would you do if it happened to You?

Feburary 08, 2002 -- At 4:00 a.m., the telephone rings. A voice tells you that a bus has crashed into a building where your business is located. Many people have been injured, and there is a great deal of damage at the location. There are reports of fires burning throughout the building.

What do you do next? Will your contingency plan work?

A new website is available to business owners who are concerned about whether their business can survive common interruptions in service or potential disasters.

Announcing: http://tabletopexercises.com.

Tabletopexercises.com will give anyone complete access to business contigency plan tabletop exercises. Previously; tabletop exercises were only available from high price consultants who would charge thousands of dollars to simply ask you in essence "what would you do if...". With this new, e-commerce capable website, obtaining a tabletop exercise has become as easy as selecting the desired exercise you want and clicking 'ORDER'.

Business owners no longer have to depend upon expensive business disaster consultants they can't afford or seminars they don't have time to attend to test their disaster recovery plan.

The introduction of Tabletopexercises.com, allows business owners, at their leisure, to test whether or not their current business contigency plan is sufficient. Visitors to the website are able to download an assortment of evaluation exercises; all designed to fray your nerve endings (just like a real calamity would). These evaluation exercises were designed by a former Department of Defense Prevention & Response security analyst. Based upon years of experience and expertise, these exercises will take the participants through some scenarios and it will cause them to evaluate their responses to the situations raised in the exercise according to what their current disaster recovery plan or company policy recommends.

According to Harvey Nixon, Owner of Tabletop Exercises, "Now more than ever, the ability of every business owner to determine whether or not their business is able to survive an interruption of services is critical."

Daily worldwide events demonstrate that it is not a matter of if but when a disaster will cripple your institution's operations. It doesn't matter if your business is a multi-million dollar a year operation or a simple home office, disaster knows no size limitations.

Statistics provided by public service and relief agencies throughout the world suggest that less than 10% of any region's businesses have developed an effective disaster recovery/business resumption plan.

If a disaster strikes, and your institution ranks with the 90% that are likely to fail because of an inadequate or non-existent plan, you fail. It's that simple. So, what do you do about it?.

Answer: Take a Tabletop Exercise and find out. If you have a plan, this will evaluate it and if you don't have a plan, this will help you build one.
