Can IT Effectively Manage during an Emergency? (Will You Be Cool in a Crisis?)

Friday, May 18, 2012 | 12:00PM–1:00PM | White River Ballroom A
Session Type: Professional Development
The majority of IT recovery efforts fail not because of a lack of disaster recovery plans or knowledgeable staff but because organization, rules, roles, and processes aren't in place. In an emergency, does your IT staff know: How an official "incident" is declared? What do to? When to do it? Where to go? Who's in charge? What the priority is? How to notify others? How to access needed information? How to obtain needed equipment, software, and people? Learn how your IT organization can leverage FEMA National Incident Management System (NIMS) standards and integrate them with your campus and institutional plans.
