NYC Businesses Want More Emergency and Security Information from Government
July 9, 2008 4:58 PM
In 2007, InterCEP conducted a survey of NYC businesses focused on the flow of emergency and security information from government. The findings of this research effort were recently published in the Journal of Business Continuity and Emergency Planning as "What Security and Emergency Information Do Businesses Want from Government? A New York Survey." In particular, the article shows that businesses rely on government information to inform their activities before, during and after a crisis. Businesses want more information from government, and they want it to be actionable and specific. The article recommends that government agencies should broaden their existing information outreach to the private sector to increase both the volume and the quality of information. InterCEP additionally recommends that private sector firms should improve their internal capabilities to evaluate and distribute emergency and security information that they receive from government.
