After Disaster Strikes How Do You Recover

employees losses that were suffered there are many other aspects you need to be aware of that affect your operations. For businesses, damage will be calculated in financial impacts: the price of repairing, restoring, or replacing damaged property; revenue streams which were either reduced or eliminated because of the effects of a disaster on critical business functions; increased business expenses resulting from coping with the aftermath of the explosion; possibly even losses of market share or competitive positioning caused by the bomb.

For the most part you can usually write a workable plan to help your business recover its material loss, but this article was a means of venting my fear, frustration and great sadness during this tragic time.

Here are some plans, mostly universities, but some are excellent starting points and can be used to help you write your own.
