From the supplier: Proper, thorough evaluations of physical property are frequently impossible to immediately conduct after the building has experienced an incident resulting in damage to the facility, such as fires, earthquakes or bombings. Access to and inspection of the property and its contents may be delayed for a variety of reasons including potential structural integrity loss, the need for forensic investigations and existing or possible toxic contamination. It is problematic for organizations housed in the affected property to execute business and service continuity plans if they have no clear picture of damage severity or the lag time involved before they can access the facility and therefore their records and other pertinent needs. Thus, pre-planning and the incorporation of delayed access scenarios into emergency plans will enable these businesses to rebound much faster.
