The foundation of our “Pyramid Road to Recovery” is based
on the work of psychologist Abraham Maslow (1908 – 1970)
who, while I can’t claim him as a close friend, I can claim
him as a fellow graduate from the University of Wisconsin.
My real respect for Abraham Maslow comes from his life
experiences and his focus on friends, family and his community. It is
this same focus on our communities and country that unit us after a
disaster like Katrina or crisis like 9-11.
Maslow said, "unless you take care of a
victims physiological needs first, don't expect them to care if they
ever again have a place to belong or care about their future. Our goal
is to take control, stabilize the situation, rescue victims from harms
way, rebuild the economic infrastucture. Our Incident Command strategic
action plan (SAP) includes one person taking command, assessment teams
defining the nature and scope of the incident, rescuers moving victims
out of harms way, cleaning up, and rebuilding the economic
infrastructure. This SAP should be adopted by all financial
institutions,
insurance companies, businesses, and government agencies
responding to the disaster or terrorist attack.

| Scenario #1:
It's a cold winter afternoon. You're driving home from work at campaign
headquarters and you come upon a fender bender auto accident. You
immediately put your vehicle flashers on, pull to the center lane to
block traffic approaching from behind, and flash your bright lights to
alert on-coming cars. Suddenly you hear screeching tires, an explosion,
and see the hood of your vehicle blow away as a trailer passes you on
the right followed by a tank truck on fire. No sooner does the smoke
clear and a school bus plows into the pile followed by a HAZMAT semi on
it's way to the chemical factory less than 1/4 mile away. It's now 4:30
p.m. and employees leaving the factory come running to offer assistance.
Three squads have arrived, one stops a looter running across the field
while the other two attempt put out the grass fire that's burning out of
control. It's now 5 p.m. three suspected looters have been hauled off to
jail, 12 people have been pronounced dead at the scene and an estimated
32 injured, some still at the scene, some waiting to evacuation
helicopters, and some already in route to one of four hospitals.
|
| |
| Scenario #2:
It's a beautiful spring day. You're just back from a well deserved
vacation over seas, well rested after a required weeks vacation from the
plant after months of working overtime. Business has been good in the
golf cart manufacturing industry as marketing has been cutting the
margin on profits to discourage off shore competition. Thanks to
property tax relief the economic future looks good as long as we can
keep those carts rolling of the assembly line. |
| |
| Scenario #3:
Elections are just around the corner. It's been a long and heated
campaign replete with protests, boycotts, verbal insults, and bogus bomb
threats. One last public event will bring our party candidates together
for a last hurrah, public reception, short caucus and with luck the last
buffet of the campaign. Like it or not, my wife and family will have to
accompany me at least during the press conference. It's not that I
dislike campaigning it's just that I'm burned out and my health has
taken a beating. Blood pressure is up, nerves are shot, and now they
think I'm diabetic. So here goes,
it's around the bend, past the high-rise, across the bridge, up third
avenue so I can wave to the senior citizen's lining the block, past the
school, and into the parking lot of the nightclub. I'm not sure what
entrance they'll pick but I suspect the protesters will be ready to
sling their last tomato or two. Last time I got off easy. Here we are.
It's my lucky day, no one even knows we're here. Maybe I can catch a
beer as we go through the bar. Last time some guy bought me one, than
two, than, well let's just say it was one of my better stops.
OK, I guess it's my day. My main opponent
was delayed. Someone siphoned the gas out of their limo. That's teach
him to park on the street. Sure enough, the bar is packed, I'll sneak
into the coat room for one last cigerett. Next time

| Step #1: When disaster strikes, financial institutions (banks, credit unions,
investment specialists) the insurance industry, and the business
community focus on clean up,
reclamation, and stabilizing the economic infra crews to stabilize the environment, followed by
reconstruction crews to build shelters and food services to feed the
refugees. Banks, credit unions, insurance companies, trade unions, and
the business community focus on indemnifying victims and rebuilding the
economy. |
| |
|
Step #2 The
incident command at the belongingness level reconnects victims with
their past and focuses on recreating a sense of social well-being.
At this level, social groups, business associations, leagues, chapters,
churches, organizations, affiliations, clubs, and societies known to
have played an instrumental role in the victim's past put their arms
around the victims to let them know they belong. Our road to recovery
model uses the US military, specifically veteran's organizations such as
the Veteran's of Foreign Wars (VFW) and business associations such as
the American Society of Industrial Security International (ASIS
International) as the model for the incident command responding to needs
at this level. |
| |
| Finally, schools,
colleges, universities, trade schools and all forms of continuing
education programs focus on the victim's self esteem and the
need to reach that level of self actualization that defines success
within the victim's country and culture. |

To my friends and mentors: September 2005
marked my 42nd year of pounding the podium to motivate and spread
Risk Management (RM) wisdom around the world. I've been richly blessed
with a career that's taken me to most cities in the US and countries in
the free world. I've been blessed to have worked with so many good
friends and professional RM mentors. Now, thanks to the internet, we're
able to keep in touch, reach out, and prepare a world that's threatened
by natural disasters, terrorist attacks, and an increasingly violent
society. It's my sincere hope that this site will provide you with
skills you'll need to manage new risks, face new challenges, accept new
responsibilities, and move out with courage to prepare, protect, and
defend your homeland. Rich
