SINGAPORE, 6 JULY 2010 – Two heads are always better than one. At BCM Institute, its a collosal BC-DR member community that boasts the best kind of online support for the global BC-DR professional. The emergence of the H1N1 influenza pandemic as well as natural disasters such as mudslides and floods is impacting our lives in many ways – from dictating priority events, to altering travel plans and even shifting our children's after-school activities. As we go through our day, we’re constantly keeping one eye on the TV or computer screen to learn what our next steps should be.

When seeking dedicated, credible sources of Business Continuity (BC) and Disaster Recovery (DR) information supported by a strong online community of fellow BC-DR practitioners, BCM Institute sets the bar above the rest. Mr Ahmad, a BCCE member with BCM Institute since 2008, shares,"When I'm faced with some BC-DR challenges, I find the support I need from the online community who are residing in various timezones and same industry. It's an incredible feeling knowing that there are professionals out there who understand the issues." The Institute’s growing community of certified members and Meet-The-Expert sessions can provide the BC-DR perspective of virtually every issue – from the importance of BCM implementation in relation to its importance on the organisation chart to suggestions for making documents crisp and silky for a clear presentation on a crisis and a recovery approach– the amount of helpful information this online community provides is virtually endless. Some of their shared information includes best practices for covering disasters, alerts regarding Q&A sessions with experts and tips for preparing the community for pandemics. Last, but not least, the Institute has developed a second more formidable online resource – BCMPedia to guide members on the terminology for various BC-DR issues and other pandemics. In short, when it comes to helping businesses and economies build resiliency, there perhaps has never been a better time to take a big bite of the BC-DR apple from BCM Institute.
