PS-Prep comment period extended until January 15 |
Dear Volunteer Leaders:
The comment period for PS-Prep has been extended until January 15, 2010. In addition, a series of public meetings will be held across the country where you can learn more about the PS-Prep and engage DHS staff. View updated Federal Register Notice http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2009/pdf/E9-26599.pdf (pdf).
It is imperative that security management professionals voice their support for the ANSI/ASIS Organizational Resilience Standard as a national preparedness standard. As I have been saying all year, Standards and Guidelines are going to be written. We need to be at the table in a leadership role and this is our opportunity.
The following are instructions for submitting comments:
- Post comments online here http://bit.ly/2oKjc2 . Click on “submit a comment” and follow instructions.
Some points to consider:
- It is the only preparedness standard that takes an enterprise-wide view of risk management, enabling an organization to develop a comprehensive strategy to prevent when possible, prepare for, mitigate, respond to, and recover from a disruptive incident.
- It is also the only preparedness standard that is 100% compatible with existing ISO management system standards (such as ISO 9000, ISO 14000, ISO 27000 and ISO 28000), thus enabling a cost-saving integrated application.
