Contingency Planning

When terrorists bombed the World Trade Center in New York City in 1993, hundreds of companies were shut down during the evacuation of the buildings known as the Twin Towers. The closing of these buildings resulted in the loss of billions of dollars in revenue. Within three months, almost half of the companies had gone out of business. Most of the survivors had contingency plans that allowed them or subsidiaries to continue with business while the building remained closed. If you want to discuss the importance of contingency planning, ask the workers of those hundreds of companies who found themselves without jobs because their companies went bankrupt.
