Dark Site?

Posted by yuan_zcen (Members) at Aug 12 2010, 02:05 PM. 2 comments

I am studying crisis management and I came across the term dark site. I find no wikipedia entry for this and search results are not clear. Can anyone explain what a dark site is, how it relates to crisis management, and how one would use a dark site?

Thank you.

Nominate your best handled crisis

We've all read about the Tylenol Crisis, the Exxon Valdez, the Ashland oil spill and of course, Hurricane Katrina. Some were handled well, and some weren't handled quite so well.

Over time, what individual or organization did the best job of handling a well-publicized crisis situation?

Name your crisis and tell us why you felt it was handled well enough to be one of the best handled crises since the Tylenol crisis in the 80's.

VP Joe Biden...Ooooops!

Joe Biden, you got to love him. I'm sure the late night TV comics do. The politician known for engaging his mouth before his brain had been kind of quiet during his boss's first 100 days in office, but that all ended when he went on the Today Show and told Matt Lauer what he thought people should do to avoid coming in contact with the Swine Flu virus.

He says - I'm sure very honestly - that he thinks people should avoid air travel since one person sneezes and that sneeze goes through the whole plane. Not sure the airline industry liked that. Then he added subways, buses, etc.

Later, the White House says that wasn't what he meant to say. Come on, I'm sure Joe said what he wanted to say, it was just that he didn't follow the WH script on what to say.

Swine Flu

Posted by Steve Wilson (Global Moderators) at Apr 27 2009, 02:30 PM. 7 comments

The swine flu has gone from a serious problem in Mexico to a potential pandemic in just a few days.

From a crisis management standpoint, has the U.S. been taking the right moves? What about Mexico's reaction?

Considering all the preparations over the past few years in getting ready for the avian flu, did those preparations pay off? Are we ready?
