How to Develop an NFPA 1600 Corrective Action Procedure

NFPA 1600 2007 is an Emergency Management,
Disaster Management, and Business Continuity Standard

On August 3, 2007 H.R.1, Implementing Recommendations of the
9/11 Commission Act of 2007 was signed by the President and
became Public Law No. 110-53. One subsection on Private Sector
Preparedness encourages the use of business continuity and
disaster recovery standards such as NFPA 1600. It also calls for
the development of a private sector preparedness accreditation
and certification program. Such a program would be used to
certify the preparedness of private sector organizations.

JULY 2004: 9/11 COMMISSION SUPPORTS NFPA 1600!

On July 22, 2004 the 9/11 Commission published its final report.
It recommends that the NFPA 1600 Standard be adopted by the
private sector. The 9/11 Commission further recommends that
insurance and credit-rating industries look closely at a company's
compliance with the NFPA Standard in assessing its insurability
and creditworthiness. The Commission believes that compliance
with the NFPA Standard should define the standard of care owed
by a company to its employees and the public for legal purposes.*
