Frequently Asked Questions
What does membership in the Preaction Alliancetm do that we can’t do ourselves?
Everything you need and anything you will use becomes available at all times, backed by internationally recognized experts. With Lt. General Russel Honoré (ret.) as the Executive Director, the Preaction Alliance represents a consortium of private-sector organizations (Sponsors) with the collective capacity to provide necessary resources to member businesses before, during and after a crisis.
How is Preaction Alliance different from all the other disaster planning tools and resources out there?
Identifying what your individual company will need to respond intelligently to a crisis takes a certain expertise. And until Preaction Alliance, that expert help was expensive. The Preaction Alliance offers tools and resources through an aggregation of critical intelligence, products, services and expertise so that you can identify and monitor threats, develop practical strategies and plans, and then remain operational in a crisis.
Preaction Alliance membership is so inexpensive. How can it be worthwhile and effective?
Instead of one-on-one consultations that come with high consulting fees, your membership will allow you access at all times to numerous experts and tools - all at no cost to you.
What are the chances we will ever need to put this resource into action?
Critical events range from national emergencies to those that impact individual members. But even storms and unpredictable weather can shut down companies, their manufacturing facilities and transportation pipelines, affecting everyone down the supply chain. Your membership makes available to you expert resources to help you identify vulnerabilities, trends and events, develop practical strategies and plans, and prepare your business to be operational as soon as possible, post-disruption.
