Are We Prepared?
September 11th changed our lives and brought preparedness to the forefront of everyone's minds, terrorism is occurring more and more causing the risk of becoming involved in an explosion or fire to be at its highest.
What is an adequate level of security? The key elements involved with 9/11 and the train bombings in London was the shock factor, no one anticipated such events or devastation.

Now aware of the ever present risks, organisations are engaging in emergency planning, working alongside security professionals to predict possible areas of weakness.
The twin towers were designed to withstand fire and explosions among other disasters, however, dealing with planes colliding with the buildings was not on the agenda.
The collapse of the giants was the end to thousands of innocent lives.
Emergency planning is being put into action throughout the country, with counties such as Shropshire who's Fire Service are preparing to deal with any large scale disaster via Disaster Training'', to our capital, where potential areas of weakness are being strengthened.
Rail companies plan for emergencies with three main public bodies: British Transport Police, the Regional Resilience Forums (RRF's) and Transec, the DFT's transport security team.
New buildings are being designed by architects alongside these forces to ensure they will withstand future natural and terrorist attacks.
Current buildings have increased security and the capital as a whole depends on the vigilance of society to report suspicious incidents.
Numerous operations have been put into place designed to aid evacuation, safety and the aftermath.
Planning for all emergency situations should be in place at every potential risk, assessing these risks and designing measures for preparation is crucial in today's society.
Our safety is not just in the hands of the government and emergency services, Experience from the Bishopsgate and Manchester bombs and the fuel crisis of 2001 has shown that businesses that have business continuity management arrangements in place are more likely to stay in business and recover quickly in the event of an emergency than those that do not.
