Emergencies come in all forms, from natural to man-made disasters, to worst-case scenario business disasters, which while not threatening in human life, can still have disastrous consequences. Consulting caught up with Booz Allen Hamilton Senior Associate Jeff Roth, who is no stranger to planning for disaster, with a background as a chemical officer in the Army focused on nuclear, biological, and chemical threats. Now a consultant going on 20 years, Roth helps companies devise scenarios, exercises, and war games intended to help them plan for those "what-ifs" and shore up their preparedness for if—and when—disaster strikes.
