Whilst Risk Management will minimise the potential for catastrophic losses there is always a chance that a significant event will occur which, if mishandled could threaten the existence of the organisation.

Management therefore has to plan for such events to ensure that emergencies are handled efficiently and that the time taken to recover from the event is minimised.
