SUMMARY We are presenting a new and truly innovative concept and approach to emergency preparedness and disaster recovery. Normally separate disciplines and often stovepipes, our approach combines business process management (BPM), enterprise architecture, and Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery using powerful BPM software as the cornerstone of the approach. This approach would empower business owners, Federal agencies, with the ability to pre-plan response type/ scenario requirements and resources (e.g. chemical , biological, explosions, weather, etc.) and to develop entirely new ones in real-time as a situation unfolds, offering these capabilities to any level or discipline within an organization or an entire operation. We use business rules and business processes as the guiding force for preparedness and response to provide a capability that can reside on a laptop and be web accessible on a global basis. \ end
