Although infrequent, disasters and emergencies of all types and severity can occur, often with little or no warning. Consider the following situations:
- A fire breaks out in your office or an adjacent office, forcing you to evacuate the building…
- A sprinkler head malfunctions and floods your office…
- A blizzard paralyzes Connecticut, closing roads and highways for days…
- A pandemic flu has sickened 50% of your staff…
While you cannot control when and where such events will occur, you can manage your ability to continue or quickly restore your operations through effective business continuity planning.
A Business Continuity Plan is different from an emergency plan. An emergency plan tells you what to do immediately before or during an emergency. A business continuity plan helps you minimize the impact on your business regardless of the incident and helps you return to normal operations as soon as possible.
