"In the middle of a crisis or a disaster, if you don't have a plan, you don't think logically, you respond emotionally, and you make some bad decisions...

We were grateful that we had that planning in place when the Joplin tornado hit."

"Mike's a certified disaster recovery planner. He's been part of the Red Cross System and understands what it means to respond. And that's so critical when we're trying to create plans for our business.

He's taught me and he's been correct because we went through some of this ourselves - that in the middle of a crisis or a disaster, if you don't have a plan, you don't think logically, you respond emotionally, and you make some bad decisions.

We were grateful that we had that planning in place when the Joplin tornado hit. Disaster recovery planning is taking care of our business and making sure that it will exist long after we may be gone."
