Seismic Shift: Earthquake Response

At a glance

Seismic Shift: Earthquake Response is a simulation from iluminr in the Natural Hazards & Climate category for Business Continuity, Operations and Crisis Management. It tests how your team protects branch, contact center & claims, with indicative mapping to OCC / Fed / FDIC Sound Practices, FFIEC BCM Handbook and UK PS21/3 Operational Resilience.

This Microsimulation focusses on reviewing and validating response plans and critical functions, strengthening cross-functional collaboration and alignment, and verifying communication protocols to ensure clarity and consistency during a crisis.

What it tests

  • Determine the most appropriate plan/playbook for an earthquake.
  • Plan/Playbook validation of initial response to a critical event (earthquake).
  • Validate alternates for the [Crisis Management Team].
  • Validate process for local impact assessment and situational awareness.
