The Channel Island Recovery and Resilience Programme was established in response to a series of major incidents that tested the resilience and response capabilities of the islands. The programme was designed to not only facilitate recovery from these specific events but also to enhance the overall resilience of the islands against future crises. The events occurred within a short span of time, highlighting the need for a coordinated and robust response and recovery strategy. The initial response to these crises was swift, but the complexity and scale of the recovery process required a more structured and long-term approach.
Hive Infrastructure’s lead disaster recovery consultant provided comprehensive advisory services, encompassing a current state review, gap analysis, and the development of a target operating model. These efforts guided the delivery of a transformational journey that addressed the island’s immediate recovery needs while building resilience for future incidents. By integrating lessons from recent events and aligning with best practices, the programme successfully navigated the complexities of the recovery process, leading to a more robust and responsive system for managing major incidents.
