She’s making a plan, and checking it twice
At least, I certainly hope every meeting planner and hotelier who reads this blog has already put a risk management plan in place. It’s shocking to me how many did not, even after 9/11, push safety, security, and contingency planning to the top of their to-do list. While there probably weren’t many meetings or incentives in the path of the Dec. 26 tsunamis, don’t forget that these are not uncommon elsewhere–like in Hawaii and California, two of the hottest U.S. meetings destinations.
Please, put a plan in place. Do it now. Whether it’s tsunamis or terrorists or a blackout, s***t does happen. Regularly. Here are a few resources that can help:
MeetingsNet’s Risk Management site
P.S. Anyone know what tsunami-related risk management plans PCMA has in place for its upcoming event in Hawaii? Enquiring minds would like to know.
