Disaster preparedness and management priorities

A colleague I have works for a small institution in which management
will not acknowledge disaster planning as a priority.  She has been
to training courses and is quite familiar with the consequences when
one is not prepared for a disaster.  I would be interested in any
suggestions on how to convince management to spend time and money on
disaster planning.  Any strategies, techniques or methods would be
most appreciated.
