In January this year (2020), I sat down with my family and we discussed how we felt about the emerging COVID-19 crisis.
Subconsciously, I was doing what I had done for over 20 years of frontline disaster management experience for hundreds of disaster victims in multiple, high profile emergencies around the world.
What has emerged, is a short course reflecting the strategies we are using as a family to develop our own crisis continuity plan.
We have used strategies designed to analyse how our personal, professional and social lifestyles intersect with the COVID-19 crisis and the flow-on challenges it is creating.
As we look beyond the obvious and tragic health implications, there lies a much larger, (crisis within the crisis) affecting what normal life will look like into our future.
We all want to be in a position to take control in times of crisis.
This short course is an opportunity to learn how we did it.
