4th Annual Crisis & Risk Management Summit is taking place from 29 May - 1 June 2016 in Kuwait

KUWAIT CITY, NON-US, KUWAIT, April 13, 2016 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Oil, gas and energy companies across the Middle East are implementing various measures to avoid major asset failures and disasters because these incidents have severe implications for operating companies such as major financial losses and tarnished reputations. Kuwait is developing an integrated emergency response programme to coordinate crisis response efforts via a centralised command centre, with relevant stakeholders from national government, energy and utility companies involved.

To facilitate this, the 4th Annual Crisis & Risk Management Summit is taking place from 29 May - 1 June 2016 in Kuwait, to enable crisis management and emergency response experts from Kuwait and across the region to discuss how to prevent emergency incidents before they occur, review the most effective strategies for emergency response and identify ways to integrate business continuity management in their day-to-day operations.
