The Corporate Emergency Access System: Solving the Dilemma of Post Disaster Access. The Corporate Emergency Access System, or CEAS, is a pre-event credentialing program that allows critical business employees to gain access to restricted areas following a disaster or serious emergency by using a secure identification card recognized by the police. Mr. Picarillo will describe how the system can benefit the capital district community. Peter R. Picarillo is Executive Director for the Business Network of Emergency Resources, Inc. (BNet) a not-for-profit firm dedicated to promoting public-private partnerships in emergency management and business continuity and developer of the Corporate Emergency Access System (CEAS). Peter is a retired New York City Police Sergeant and a former Director of Public Private Initiatives for the New York City Office of Emergency Management (OEM). He has over 15 years of hands-on disaster response and planning experience and is a Certified Business Continuity Professional. While at OEM, he pioneered a program that crafted initiatives to bridge the gap between the public and private sectors in areas related to crisis management and business continuity. He is responsible for several highly successful initiatives in information sharing and operational participation between the public and private sectors, including an emergency access plan for critical business personnel.

Business and Professional Implication of the PS-Prep Program The PS-Prep program has the potential to be one of the most significant business continuity initiatives in a generation, but it has been slow to gain traction. Recent announcements beginning with the official designation of a first set of standards in June 2010, seem to have provided the momentum needed to allow this law to live up to its’ potential. In this session, a comprehensive update on the state of the program will be discussed and the business and professional implications of this legislation, explored. Don Byrne: As the former CEO of several companies, Don Byrne brings an executive perspective to the field of resiliency planning. A Certified Business Continuity Professional (CBCP) Don’s expertise includes working with all types of technology, solving operational challenges, and strategic planning. A frequent speaker at industry conferences, Don serves as a Director of several professional societies. Currently he is the Association of Contingency Planners representative to the ANSI National Accreditation Board’s Committee of Experts (ANAB-COE). Working under a contract with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) ANAB is charged with developing national Business Continuity Management standards and practices in the area of the PS-Prep program. Don is also a member of the core technical committee working with ASIS International on a forthcoming ISO standard in the area of business continuity.
