Summary
A review, update and test of MLA's internal Crisis Response Plan was performed to ensure it fits the broader regulatory and policy environment, and was compatible with ISC's Crisis Management Plan as well as various Federal and State Department's response plans (as required). Training of the plan and its practical application was also delivered to the MLA CRT and technical advisors. This objective was to build MLA's crisis preparedness and strengthen crisis response knowledge and capabilities, and to understand our roles to lead an internal crisis or to support in an industry crisis.
