Abstract
Browsing the Big One: Business Recovery Planners Earthquake Map Service
Track: Business, Banking, and Insurance
Author(s): Brian Boru Quinn
Paper describes Charles Schwab & Co. progress toward map service communicating disaster models to internal business recovery plan writers and more than 20,000 financial services employees. FEMA's GIS-based loss estimation HAZUS runs earthquake scenarios with detailed economic and demographic consequences. Flood and wind loss estimation are promised. GIS-enabled business process continuity planners merge HAZUS scenarios with spatial aspects of the extended corporate system: facilities, workers' homes, service lines.
Businesses partner with public sector to grow disaster resistance in their communities and rebound more quickly, avoiding public image risks of being seen as ill-prepared absorbers of disaster aid.
