UK resilience website and the London preparedness website both offer informative guidelines on what risks and threats face the country/city and how people can prepare for them. For example, on the UK Resilience site, a document entitled "Preparing for emergencies" can be downloaded. It addresses the risks that one should plan for, how to prepare for emergencies, how to prepare one's business for emergencies, and how to prepare one's community for emergencies. It is a succinct and cohesive guide because it does not just address one's own self or home but also one's workplace and one's community, which gives a great deal of comfort to users of the site as they can feel that they are not only safeguarding their own families but their own neighborhoods as well, creating the impression that there is strength in unity, numbers and people working together.
The London site is equally helpful in that it contains information for the public on preparing yourself, your business, planning for emergencies; it provides a forum where questions can be asked and discussions held; it tells about itself in the About section and also provides contact information should one require more information.

The concept of planning for emergencies appears to be very helpful but there is also the concept of avoiding risky behavior or taking steps to ensure that situations do not turn into emergencies or catastrophes by outlining methods and means of activities that could mitigate disaster from occurring in the first place.
I made this decision based on my familiarity with the concept of risk management and how it can be important to companies and organizations to identify all possible threats and how they could negatively impact one's firm and then prepare either to deal with them or to reduce them and thereby their impact. For the city and country as a whole, mitigating risk could be conducted by taking a look at threats to the culture of the country and to the society of London and assessing what sort of threats are posed to each. It could be conducted on a cultural or social level and even on an economical and poltical level as well, with special teams highlighting legislative risk, too. All of these factors could help communities to meet and prepare for emergencies and disaster situations by mitigating the risk at the outset. In other words, there is more than one way to prepare for an emergency, and…

Integrated Emergency Management In the last several years, the concept of integrated emergency management has been continually evolving. This is taking place by focusing on how communities, businesses and government officials are prepared for a host of events ranging from natural disasters to terrorism. In 2007, the UK experienced a series of floods between June and July. This was the largest peace time rescue operation in the history of Britain. (Flin
For example, the company could consider placing the data recovery system in the desert between West Texas and Nevada. In general, these areas are not subject to tornados or hurricanes.

Function #1: Mitigation At this stage, gradual and long-term steps are taken to ensure that disasters do not occur, or that, when they do, they cause minimal damage. Actions at this stage include the identification of hazards, the research of the causes which generate the disaster, the creation of means in which to modify the causes of the disasters, the development of means which reduce the community's vulnerability to the disaster,
