Disaster Planning: What Organizations Need to Know to Protect Their Tech August 20, 2009

Does your organization have a plan to keep your technology, data, and assets protected in the event of an emergency or disaster? What if it's not an actual disaster like a hurricane or flood, but a staff member simply loses or breaks a laptop carrying essential supporter data? How much time or money might your organization spend trying to recover even a fraction of what's been lost? If these questions have crossed your mind and your answers are less than ideal, you should join us for our two-part webinar series on disaster planning to protect your technology.

Join TechSoup's Becky Wiegand as she interviews nonprofit tech expert Chris Shipley from Nutmeg Consulting and Elliot Harmon, TechSoup staff writer and editor of our soon-to-be-released The Resilient Organization: A Guide for Disaster Planning and Recovery. We'll also be joined by Michelle Baldwin, Executive Director of Volunteers in Service to Others, which runs the Cooke County emergency food bank. They experienced a flood two years ago and she'll be offering advice for other nonprofits trying to plan ahead.

We'll discuss the ins and outs of getting your organization in tip-top shape before a disaster or crisis happens. We'll review best practices, tips, and resources for developing and implementing a disaster preparedness plan for technology at your organization that will help you not only when a crisis hits -- but everyday with a more streamlined, efficient workplace.

The second event will be held on Thursday, August 27 at 11 a.m. Pacific and will be an in-depth discussion of backup systems. More details to come!
