--In the event of a terrorist attack or natural disaster businesses need to
know how to respond quickly and effectively--
Thursday, January 16, 2003 Princeton, NJ U.S. Representative Rush Holt spoke at a press conference expressing his support for "Disaster Preparedness for Businesses," a partnership between the American Red Cross of Central New Jersey and local businesses. Speakers at the press conference included representatives from Drinker, Biddle & Reath, LLP, Princeton, NJ; ITXC, Princeton, NJ; Laureate Pharma, Princeton, NJ and Merrill Lynch, Plainsboro, NJ, four local businesses that understand the importance of preparing their employees for the unexpected and the need to establish partnerships toward ensuring disaster preparedness. After experiencing the effects of events such as Hurricane Floyd and the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, many companies have been grappling with how to effectively prepare their employees for these and other potential disasters both natural and man-made. Unsure of the reality of additional attacks, what to tell employees or how to prepare them, businesses have been individually contacting the American Red Cross for additional resources and support.
