Whether to protect their companies against terrorism, hurricanes or other potential catastrophies, 83 percent of organizations have some precautions in place but still don't feel adequately prepared, a national survey revealed.
The results were expected "in the context that the survey indicated there were some things an industry was doing well and there were some things an industry was not doing quite so well," said Harrison Lobdell, director of the National Emergency Response & Rescue Training Center, which commissioned the survey. The center is a division of the Texas A&M University system's Texas Engineering Extension Service.
"Our experience would have had us predict, for instance, that the petrochemical industry would feel as though they are better prepared than some of the other industries," he added.
