In this specialized book, the author takes on the challenge of integrating crisis and disaster scenarios, such as the flooding in Austria in August 2002, into facility management planning. He demonstrates, among other things, that the timely development of disaster plans, as well as procedural structures and responsibilities, falls within the competencies of facility management. Facility management encompasses all tasks related to the planning, administration, and management of complex buildings, production sites, and facilities. Since most facility managers tend to shift responsibilities regarding disasters, which are defined differently within organizations, onto response organizations—who often focus only on the essentials—they generally leave facility managers to handle the internal facility security on their own.
