HELMETS, VOLCANIC ASH AND YOUR BUSINESS

"Europe's ash cloud has triggered a flurry of anguished calls for the EU to improve its crisis response"1

clipart.jpegThis morning's mountain bike ride in the dark (with lights) was characterised by discussion around the impact that the volcanic ash is having on local business - with some staff and sub-contractors being stranded on the wrong end of the world. (the wrong end being defined as the end other than the one you want to be on)

The ride ended with me ploughing head first into a ditch and spending the better part of the day recovering from the concussion and whiplash that resulted.

Unlike the volcanic eruption, my fall cannot be considered an Act of God.  It does however present a similar risk to my business.  If I had not had a helmet on, I most certainly would not be writing this article now...

The important question is do you have a helmet on - what is your disaster plan?
