Miami businesses are the "Most Prepared" for disasters, says AT&T

After two years of extreme hurricane activity, it is not surprising that the business community of Metropolitan Miami ranks No. 1 in the nation for business continuity planning. AT&T Inc. announced today that of its 10 markets surveyed for AT&T's national study on business continuity planning, Miami businesses ranked as the best prepared to recover from disasters.

Eighty percent of the city's IT decision-makers surveyed said that their business has a continuity plan in place, as compared with 73 percent nationally. Additionally, 54 percent of the respondents with a plan said their plans have been updated in the last six months and 36 percent said their plans have been tested in the last six months.
