"This publication provides excellent guidance on how to develop plans to prepare for and respond to all types of catastrophes, whether acts of God or of man, and whether local or national in scope. Such planning can be critical to the ability to survive following such events. I highly recommend it for attorneys and law firms as a basic document on how to be prepared to respond to and recover from disasters."

– Michael Hirsch, Former FEMA Deputy General Counsel


"Although my firm is identified in these pages as a real-world example of a law firm with an effective recovery plan, Ed deserves much of the credit for the plan you'll read about. In my view, Ed is the primary architect for my colleagues' and my firm's disaster recovery plans and he was, is, and remains a driving force behind our plans. For that, we are deeply indebted."

– Tom Edwards, Executive Director of Munger, Tolles & Olson
