October 28, 2005—PreEmpt, Inc., a business continuity planning company, recently published the latest version of its periodic survey, which simply asked how far the respondents thought an alternate site should be from the primary site, assuming that the primary location was vulnerable to certain threats.
The average for organizations subject to hurricanes is 151 miles (the highest average of any category), while conducting operations near a civilian airport has the lowest result at 32 miles.
The survey was conducted in September 2005 and documented in October 2005. The primary source of information was chapter members of the Association of Contingency Planners (ACP).
