200 years ago, a series of major earthquakes struck the Mississippi River Valley along the New Madrid Seismic Zone in the Central United States. Recent events remind us that damaging earthquakes can happen at any time.

TIME will be the core theme of BCAW 2012. Business Continuity Institute (BCI) research shows the most common reason why organisations don’t have a BCM programme is they feel they will be able to deal with a crisis “when it happens;” in fact many organisations feel they are good at managing a crisis.
For Business Continuity Awareness Week in 2012 the focus is on the reasons why this approach is insufficient at best and dangerous at worst by considering the consequences on customers, employees and citizens of such an approach. The BCI welcomes contributions from members and partners that address the time element of BCM and the importance of planning ahead, developing a capability for effective response, and examples of where “dealing with it when it happens” breaks down.
Business Continuity Awareness Week is the global educational event for people to learn more about Business Continuity Management and how they will benefit from its application. The BCI is proud to facilitate this growing and successful event which has featured a number of new initiatives to help raise awareness of the value of BCM. It also allows the BCM community to engage with policy makers, opinion formers and other key stakeholders. As part of the week, the BCI provides support in a number of areas as set out below, but ultimately the success of BCAW rests with the engagement and enthusiasm of its members and partners.
As in previous years, a dedicated portal has been set up to allow the BCI to signpost different activities, forums and resources available during BCAW. This site will be updated through to the end of March 2012.
