Disaster can strike at any time. Are you and your facilities prepared for a disaster? Can your buildings and their occupants continue to operate after flooding, severe weather or workplace violence?

Now there’s a way you can ensure your facilities and occupants are prepared for any disaster.

The Department of Homeland Security has developed the Private Sector (PS) Prep Program — a voluntary program of accreditation and certification of private entities using standards adopted by the Homeland Security Department. This program promotes private-sector preparedness, including disaster management, emergency management and business continuity.

Building Operating Management and Maintenance Solutions magazines, in conjunction with ProActive Security, have produced Disaster Averted: Understanding and Complying with Homeland Security's Private Sector Prep.
