SUGGESTED QUESTIONS ON

STANDARDS FOR EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AND BUSINESS CONTINUITY

Designated Commissioners: Lehman and Roemer

1) Do you see a role for a uniform set of standards for preparedness that companies could
follow?

2) Do you see a way forward to get that uniform set of Standards and who would enforce
it or coordinate it?

3) Do you think the public sector is in a position to promulgate a set of standards for the
private sector?

4) Do you think that a set of standards would be accepted and helpful in the goal of
emergency preparedness in the private sector?

5) How do you consider the code issue versus the standards for emergency preparedness
and continuity of business? Which one is addressable? Codes are local and procedures
are more universally applicable? Do you agree?

6) Should the Commission be getting involved in the codes issue in terms of specifics
that we would recommend or is that better left to local authorities?
