Business Continuity Planning

• Every group on campus needs to take a closer look at their own level of continuity planning

• Continuity planning needs to be a part of the every day process of doing business

Developing your plan

• Assets– Buildings, equipment, systems, data

• Hazards– Natural, Human-induced

• Vulnerability & Risk– Buildings, equipment, systems, data

• Impact Analysis

Developing your plan

• Basic steps– Analyze your operation and identify all your

functions– Identify critical functions– Prioritize those functions– Determine your resource requirements

• Staff, equipment, data

– How do your needs change over time?

Testing

• If you don’t test your plans in advance, your first test could be when it really counts.

• That’s not the time to figure out that something does not work.

Are you ready for the big one?
