DISASTER MANAGEMENT

USING THE NFPA 1600 2007 STANDARD

     
 

NFPA 1600 is a Disaster Management, Emergency Management, and Business Continuity Standard.

 
  The NFPA 1600 Standard combines the best from three separate
specialties: disaster management, emergency management, 
and business continuity management
. The result is a single
integrated approach. NFPA calls this a "Total Program Approach".

Management Program

accumulated knowledge and experience of many experts.
