On the ASIS Shanghai Chapter conference (Dec 13), we touched upon the differences and interrelations between Disaster Recovery (DR), Risk Management (RM), Emergency Management (EM), Crisis Management (CM) and BCM (Business Continuity Management) etc.

It’s a huge topic and no one can elaborate it easily and, as if it were not complicated enough, there are many different definitions of these acrynyms, each attempting to grasp the gist of the terms from different angles.

The discussion should be continued.

I would like to seek your input on this question — what is your understanding of these terms?

Please leave a comment.
