  As crisis managers, we are expected to remain calm and in charge during a disaster or crisis event. People turn to us for guidance, support, and information during the worst possible times. But what does a crisis manager do when the crisis impacts them? What is their procedure to follow? Who is there to assist? Who covers for the crisis manager?

  This session will focus on three real-life scenarios where the crisis manager had to deal with real-life disaster situations. One scenario is a company declaring a disaster due to a hurricane, the second is when the crisis manager’s position was downsized and third, when a medical emergency thrusts the crisis manager into a situation they were unprepared for.

  Presenter: Tom Serio, MTS & Associates

  Presentation Synopsis: 

  The BIA often results in a myopic planning process where departments identify their recovery needs in a vacuum. You may already have a good understanding of the resources included in a typical BIA: such as buildings, equipment, technology, human resources, and third parties. In this session, you’ll learn a technique that helps you to identify dependencies each activity has on other department activities and verify that those activities have a recovery time objective that can meet your needs. Mapping these dependencies can have enormous benefits for your program and improve your resiliency posture.

She has built programs from scratch to surpass client and audit requirements for Fortune 300 companies. Margaret is well-respected in our industry. And yet, at the end of last year and with no warning, she was told by her employer that her and her team’s services were no longer needed. Suddenly, unemployment became her full-time job. Unfortunately, Margaret’s experience is far from unique. Sudden job loss can occur when you are terminated or laid off, when you resign because you feel you have no choice, or when you are burned out and choose to leave. Regardless of the reason, the sudden loss of a job can be nothing short of traumatic. It is a personal and professional crisis that must be managed. Margaret will discuss the events, examine her journey, provide perspectives, and share lessons learned. Participants can also share their experiences with others.
