To support business continuity and disaster recovery objectives, we offer the following presentation, free of charge, to all who are interested in drawing from the lessons learned in the 9/11 attacks. It is up to us to remember, and to learn from the events of that day. In some measure, we honor those who were lost that day, and those lost in any disaster, when we create and maintain continuity and recovery plans.
