Research & Special Projects
The programs of the International Center for Enterprise Preparedness (INTERCEP) build upon key initiatives of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the recommendations of the Federal 9-11 Commission regarding private sector emergency preparedness. The core of the 9-11 Commission private sector recommendations were developed by The Working Group on Private Sector Preparedness and involved input from scores of businesses large and small. The chairman of the Working Group and an advisor to the 9-11 Commission, Bill Raisch, serves as the Center’s founding director. Initial goals of the Center include:
- Forwarding Business Incentives for Preparedness: Advancing existing incentives and where necessary facilitating the development of new incentives for private sector preparedness (including insurance benefits, legal liability safeguards and credit rating consideration). The Center is undertaking to communicate the “business case” for emergency preparedness effectively and widely.
- Promoting Industry Best Practices and Consensus-based Guidelines including the Newly Designated Voluntary Emergency Preparedness Standard for Private Sector Organizations: Communicate to private sector organizations the key elements of emergency management and business continuity through existent and emerging best practices, standards and guidelines, especially as embodied in the newly designated voluntary Emergency Preparedness Standard (ANSI-NFPA 1600) endorsed by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the 9-11 Commission.
- Promoting Integration of emergency management efforts among private sector organizations and between private sector and public sector organizations.
The Center also integrates its special project and research activity with the wider efforts of the Center for Catastrophe Preparedness & Response at New York University.
