Disaster Recovery Planning: Preparation is Key
Disasters don’t just happen “somewhere else” - they hit construction sites, office buildings, shopping centers, and even critical tech systems at the worst possible moment. In this episode, we break down why insurance alone often isn’t enough, and how a well-tested disaster recovery plan can be the difference between barely surviving and fully bouncing back. Using insights from Adjusters International’s Disaster Recovery Planning: Preparation is Key to Survival, we walk through real-world disruption scenarios, eye-opening statistics on rising catastrophe losses, and the four foundational steps to building an effective plan: forming a planning team, analyzing hazards and vulnerabilities, creating clear response procedures, and implementing ongoing training and updates. We also cover immediate post-disaster priorities - life safety, property protection, continuity of operations, and recordkeeping - so organizations can recover faster and smarter. Bottom line: preparedness isn’t paperwork - it’s a survival strategy.
