For professionals in the business continuity field, it is that time of year again: hurricane season. If you haven’t started to exercise hurricane planning procedures, it isn’t too late. I believe that it was The National Hurricane Center that stated that 2009 would be a moderate or “near-normal” year for hurricanes, and it’s not likely the southeastern United States will see anything like Katrina or Ike. However, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t plan or test your existing hurricane preparedness plan.
