Preparing Your Law Firm for Disaster
On December 26, 2004, the ocean floor ruptured beneath the Indian Ocean, just off the coast of Sumatra, Indonesia. It was the second largest earthquake ever recorded on a seismograph. It had the longest duration of faulting ever observed. It lasted between 8.3 and 10 minutes. The people on the beach didn't recognize the disaster as it was happening. In fact, some thought the fish left on the beach by the receding water--just before a monstrous wave came through--were a gift from god. What happened next could not have been worse.
