Resilience Reads: Developing a Powerful Crisis Management Program with Regina Phelps

EDITOR’S NOTE: Leading up to DRJ Spring 2025, Disaster Recovery Journal will highlight the authors featured in the “Resilience Reads: Meet the Authors” exhibition in Orlando, Fla.

If you’re looking for an easy to read, “how-to” guide, telling you everything you need to build a world-class crisis management program, you’d have a hard time finding a better resource than “Crisis Management – How to Develop a Powerful Program” by Regina Phelps.

Phelps is the founder of Emergency Management and Safety Solutions, Inc. When she is not speaking on the main stage at DRJ conferences, Phelps helps organizations prepare and be ready for the worst day of their work lives.

“I find that most companies crisis management programs are missing key aspects of a program that results in them being less prepared to meet the moment,” said Phelps. “This guide will help build a program and refine one that already exists.”

Phelps has written three other books:

• “Emergency Management Exercises: From Response to Recovery – Everything You Need to Know to Design a Great Exercise.”
• “Instructors Guide to Emergency Management Exercises: From Response to Recovery – Everything You Need to Know to Design a Great Exercise.”
• “Cyber Breach: What if Your Defenses Fail – Designing and Exercise to Build a Ready Strategy.”

“Crisis Management – How to Develop a Powerful Program” and her other books are all available at Amazon and DRJ conferences.

Phelps is working on two more books right now. She says, “Stay tuned.”

Visit Phelps and other “Resilience Reads” guest authors at DRJ Spring 2025 in Orlando, Fla., March 23-26, 2025.
