Operating in the dark: plan and execute offline continuity and response

Hurricane season isn't over, and the AI-driven threat to critical infrastructure is accelerating. Both can produce the same condition: no power, no network, degraded systems, and a response that still has to execute. Most continuity plans quietly assume everything will be working. This webinar is about closing that gap.

When a natural event knocks out power and cell towers, or a cyberattack takes down the infrastructure you depend on, your emergency response still has to happen, often with fewer tools than you planned for. This session shows emergency managers and business-continuity leaders how the world's most resilient enterprises stay reachable, accountable, and operational when connectivity, power, or their primary systems go offline.

What you'll learn

• How to pressure-test your plan for a "systems-down" scenario. The questions to ask before the storm or the outage, not during it.
• Building an offline-ready alerting and accountability workflow. Reaching every worker, at every site, and confirming they're safe when primary channels fail.
• Turning continuity plans into role-based task lists that execute the same way whether your team is at a desk or in a parking lot with one bar of signal.
• Lessons from the field . What enterprises like Amazon and Hilton do to keep operating through severe weather and disruption.
• A practical 30-day readiness checklist you can start applying before the next event.
