An Update on NFPA 1600, Standard on Disaster/Emergency Management and Business Continuity Programs
Overview NFPA 1600, Standard on Disaster/Emergency Management and Business Continuity Programs, has gained considerable attention since first published as a standard in 2000. Since then the 9/11 Commission has endorsed it as The National Preparedness Standard. More recently, Congress emphasized the importance of private sector preparedness and NFPA 1600 within The National Intelligence Reform Act of 2004-signed by President Bush in December 2004. Within Section 7305, Private Sector Preparedness, Congress asks the Secretary of Homeland Security "To promote, where appropriate, the adoption of voluntary national preparedness standards such as the private sector preparedness standard developed by the American National Standards Institute and based on the National Fire Protection Association 1600 Standard on Disaster/Emergency Management and Business Continuity Programs."
