Week in Review -- Hurricane Sandy Aftermath
The Week in Review: October 26-November 2
Happy Friday, Security readers, and welcome to another edition of the Week in Review.
As the country reels from the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, we will continue to report on the hurricane’s effect on security. For now, however, we seek to save you time by putting all of this week’s most popular articles in one place.
In related hurricane news, one of our top articles this week was What Are Airlines’ Duties of Care to Stranded Sandy Passengers? While passengers on European airlines such as British Airways or Virgin Atlantic could receive compensation from their airlines for accommodations, food and beverages purchased while waiting for a flight home, American companies do not carry the same legal responsibility to their passengers.
Businesses are also scrambling to recover as quickly as possible from the damage wreaked by the super-storm. These situations cause a lot of stress within an organization, and it might be striking you now more than ever the importance of choosing the right disaster response team. When you need that extra advice, read Handling Stress in Crisis.
Also, due to Hurricane Sandy, Security Week in New York was postponed, including ISC East, Securing New Ground and the Security 500 Conference. However, the Security 500 Report still published on time – November 1 – and is available for you to read at your leisure:
