New Web site helps companies prepare for emergencies

The Federation of American Scientists (FAS) has launched a website with resources to help businesses prepare for an emergency, saying the government's website (ready.gov) contains inaccurate and incomplete information, according to Business & Legal Reports.

The FAS says the government's ready.gov includes generic advice, repetitive details, unnecessary lengthy descriptions, and insufficient information for people with disabilities.

The FAS's new site, Reallyready.org, attempts to provide better and clearer information to individuals with disabilities, businesses, and families.

The site includes a plan for continuity, an emergency response plan, and other emergency preparedness and response information to help business prepare for a variety of situations, such as natural disasters, nuclear threats, and pandemics.
