Buncefield depo explosion : disaster planning?
Onto the hot topic of the day. Everyone in the UK will have been watching the pictures of the massive explosion and subsequent fires at the Buncefield fuel distribution depot. What an incredible sight of devastation. Even 90 or so miles away I have felt the effects. One of my affiliate programs run by ASOS (As Seen On Screen) had their warehouse right next to the fuel terminal. It looks as though the warehouse has been partially destroyed, and therefore the company has closed their website while they asses the damage. ASOS are a great business, and I do hope that they recover from this disaster. Year on year I read about the high number of businesses that have no emergency or disaster planning in place. The eternally optimistic entrepreneur will often overlook the what-ifs, but events like those at the Buncefield depo can provide a powerful impetus to review your plans.Read more about the explosions at the BBC http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4520430.stm
