However the implications and consequences of a catastrophe can be mitigated by thorough comprehensive disaster management planning.

The requirement for a disaster management plan in every business is now the responsibility of all company directors with a duty of care for all employees, visitors and third parties being effectively written into legislation.

Non compliance is not an option for Australian businesses who wish to follow best practices and ensure their businesses are fully compliant.

Assets are any building, tool, piece of equipment, pipe, or machinery used in the operation of an organisation. Assets also include people. Managing assets ensures that an organisation gets the most value from each of its assets and has the financial resources to rehabilitate and replace them when necessary.

Managing assets also includes developing a plan to reduce costs while increasing the efficiency and the reliability of a system’s assets. Successful asset management depends on knowledge of a system’s assets and regular communication with management and customers about the system’s future needs.

Total Asset Management system evaluation covers every cost including predictive and preventative maintenance costs, predicted end of life failure timeline and planning on replacement for each asset, including lead times for purchase and tender, installation costs, embedding time to determine the capital and people costs for replacing the equipment.

Business Process Re-engineering focuses on an organisation’s business processes. As a structured ordering of work steps, every business process can be broken down into into specific activities, then measured, modeled, and improved upon.

Each business process can also be redesigned or even eliminated altogether. Business Process Re-engineering identifies, analyses, and re-designs the processes at the centre of every organisation with the sole aim being significant improvements in business performance measures, such as cost, quality, service, and speed.

Disaster Management is dealing with the strategic organisational management processes used to protect critical assets of an organization and to ensure the continuance of the organization within their planned lifetime.

Disasters, Emergencies, and Catastrophes are not gradients, they are separate, distinct problems that require distinct strategies of response.

Organisations are forced into more and different kinds of interactions than normal; Organisations lose some of their normal autonomy; Performance standards change, and; More coordinated public sector/private sector relationships are required.

The continued ability for an organisation to operate uninterruptedly depends on management’s awareness of potential disasters, their ability to develop a plan to minimise disruptions of critical functions and the capability to recover operations expediently and successfully.

A disaster recovery plan is a comprehensive statement of consistent actions to be taken before, during and after a disaster. The plan should be documented and tested to ensure the continuity of operations and availability of critical resources in the event of a disaster.

The primary objective of disaster recovery planning is to protect the organisation in the event that all or parts of its operations are rendered unusable for an unexpected period of time.
