Hurricane Andrew provided a wake-up call with $17 million in damage to the University of Miami. In response, the university has partnered with the Miami-Dade County Office of Emergency Management (the nation's leader), the State of Florida (also a national leader), and FEMA through the Disaster Resistant University pilot program. Our current Disaster Preparation and Recovery: A Plan for Business Continuity addresses the many forms of disaster--wind, flood, power interruption, fire, tornado, civil unrest, terrorism, etc.--and covers ongoing planning, mitigation, and preparation; managing during the event; and recovery after the event.
