About DRIE
The Disaster Recovery Information Exchange (DRIE) is a non-profit
association of professionals dedicated to the exchange of information
on all aspects of planning for an emergency or a disruption to normal
operations. DRIE's goal is to provide an accessible, informal, open
forum for the exchange of information and knowledge related to the
many variations of emergency preparedness.
At our quarterly meetings we have presentations on many of the
following topics:
- Disaster recovery planning;
- Business resumption planning;
- Contingency planning;
- Crisis management;
- Crisis communications;
- Emergency response; and
- Risk and business impact assessment.
Meeting Schedule
DRIE meetings are an excellent forum to network with other business
continuity, disaster recovery and emergency management planners
in an informal and relaxed environment. Meetings are held QUARTERLY,
usually on a Wednesday, in the months of March, June, September
and December (actual dates dependent on venue availability).
Meetings are usually held in the morning with two speakers
presenting. After each meeting, the presentations
are placed on our website with presentations from the most
recent meeting accessible to everyone and previous presentations
in the File Archive of the Members Area.
DRIE Ottawa has special meetings in June, where we offer a full
day of speakers, with lunch and a trade show included, and in December,
where we provide a full, hot buffet breakfast.
