Catastrophe Planning

Catastrophe planning is managing risk by making preparations to cope with the impact of a major disaster.

The disaster may be a meteorological or seismic event such as a flood, earthquake, hurricane, cyclone, typhoon or tsunami. It may result from the impact of mankind over time, an infrastructure failure or a man-made event such as a terrorist attack, military action or economic collapse. It may be an epidemic, or may give rise to one in its aftermath, and may spread more widely to become pandemic.

The impact of the disaster may be local, regional, national or even global, seriously affecting individuals, companies, organisations and governments. Access to food, medicine, water, shelter, fuel, transport and communications may be impacted. Trade and financial activity may be disrupted. Recovery may be protracted.
