What are the obligations of corporate directors and officers in evaluating whether companies they serve have reasonable disaster preparedness and recovery plans in place? What are the tasks that need to be undertaken in avoiding catastrophic situations, including property damage, employee injury and death; and what type of plans should be put in place to minimize business interruptions and compensate injured employees and families of employees killed in the line of work? What liabilities do corporate directors and officers face in failing to live up to their obligations and what insurance is available to protect directors and officers from liability?

This teleconference is part of the ABA Tort Trial & Insurance Practice Section's series of podcasts, teleconferences, and live programs dedicated to Disaster Preparedness and Response. Co-Sponsored by Thomson Reuters, it addresses issues arising out of disasters caused by foreign and domestic acts of terrorism, by negligent acts, by natural events and by threats to our cyber-security and will confront the issues of preparedness, risk management, recovery and response, liability, insurance, claims and litigation.
