“NFPA 1600 establishes minimum criteria for disaster/emergency
management
and business continuity programs for the public and private sectors in the areas of
effective disaster/emergency management mitigation, preparedness, response,
recovery, and business continuity programs. This standard provides a
standardized basis for disaster/emergency management planning and operations
in private and public sectors by providing common program elements, techniques,
and processes using a "total program approach." This updated document includes
