911, Hurricane Sandy, and the 2003 Blackout - How to Manage a Crisis with Former NYPD Commanding Officer Keith Singer
How ready is your company or city if you experience a crisis? As a society, we are dependent on others for providing our basic needs. Our electrical grids supply power to our cities that enables companies to conduct business and to serve their customers. Our electrical grids are more fragile than people realize according to a recent study: http://www.nature.com/news/us-electrical-grid-on-the-edge-of-failure-1.13598.
The bottom line: If the grid goes down, are you prepared? A natural disaster or terrorist attack can also be extremely disruptive and something you should be prepared for.
Today’s show we talk with former NYPD Commanding Officer Keith Singer to discuss how to prepare for a crisis. His service with the NYPD had him managing many crises including 911, Hurricane Sandy, and the 2003 Blackout.
Keith is the founder of ICMC Group, a crisis management firm that provides personal, corporate, and political crisis preparation and resolution. You can see more of Keith and his company at http://crisismanager.pages.ontraport.net/
