Understanding the regional conflicts and political crisis in the Middle East, it would be quite evident that securing assets is a top priority.

It is imperative to have the appropriate mechanisms in place to thwart any attempts of vandalism, terrorism, sabotage, criminality, piracy and theft. Yet with Global climate change and the occurrence around the globe, despite being an area generally unaffected by Natural Disasters, has required both regional governments as well as organizations to dust up their BCM & ER plans and reevaluate them more stringently.

The recent and ongoing crisis situations today are a wake-up call and it is imperative for the best back up plan to be available at all times whilst ensuring the business is safe and profitable no matter what the disruption.

Taking this into account, a unified and coherent national disaster management plan is crucial for dealing with a variety of crisis scenarios from oil spills to an outbreak of infectious diseases or a global pandemic, from floods, earthquakes to more day-to-day incidents like traffic accidents.
