What should businesses consider in preparing for terrorist attacks,
natural disasters, pandemic illnesses and other emergencies? What
steps can a business take to ensure continuity during and after a
crisis? What can we learn from past success? This edited collection
provides responses to these and other questions from prominent
business executives and academics, drawn from their personal
experiences with such crises as the terrorist attacks of 9/11,
Hurricane Katrina, and the Asian tsunami. Their analyses prove a
major step forward in the emerging academic and professional field
of homeland security. In this first volume, The Challenge of the
New Age, the contributors- noted authorities in security and risk
management, technology, public health, political science and
business - look at specific ways disasters can impact businesses,
both in the short and long term. They recount their experiences
with terrorist attacks and natural disasters, and explore the
potential impact of other hazards, such as a biological event or
pandemic. Intended for business practitioners, real world
operators, students and faculty, government leaders, and their
libraries, the book demonstrates with historical examples the
connectivity between threats, hazards, policies, jurisdictions,
information, technology, leadership, and considerations of profit
and loss. Those who want to benefit from best practices while
avoiding mistakes of the past will find this an excellent place to
start. Contributors: D. Alexander, F. Burton, B. Eggers, E. Gursky,
