What is Emergency Management and Business Continuity
September 28, 2011 | 
Author Emergencies are any event that disrupts the normal process and requires a change in behavior of the individuals and the organizations involved. These can be man made, imposed by nature, or be the consequence of accidents. They can be the result of negative happenings such as intentional bombing or the result of a positive event such as an unexpected demand for a company’s product that will require an immediate major addition to a complex supply chain to meet the delivery deadlines. online.njit.edu
