MHA Consulting has been engaged by a leading U.S. financial institution to plan, develop, and facilitate a mock disaster exercise as part of its business continuity program. The initiative is designed to test and strengthen the organization’s ability to respond to unplanned disruptions affecting processes, personnel, facilities, technology, or supply chain operations.
The exercise will include scenario design, pre-exercise preparation, and a facilitated exercise session. Participants will be presented with realistic events designed to challenge current response and recovery strategies, while also identifying strengths, gaps, and areas for improvement. A structured post-exercise review will provide leadership and staff with actionable recommendations to enhance readiness and improve recovery capabilities.
“Exercises like these are essential for building organizational confidence and resilience,” said Michael Herrera, CEO of MHA Consulting. “They give leadership teams the opportunity to validate response strategies and ensure they are prepared to protect people, operations, and reputation when disruption strikes.”
