Are you prepared for a disaster?

The book offers advice to help charities plan for natural disasters, equipment failures, terrorist attacks, theft, scandals and other emergencies.

According to a study conducted by Robinson in spring 2003, only 48 percent of nonprofit respondents have a disaster-recovery plan in place. Sixty-nine percent made an effort to back up essential legal documents, such as tax-exempt applications, 990s, audits and insurance policies, but only 55 percent of those organizations backed up all of the necessary documents.
