OUTLINE
Ask yourself, if a major disaster or pandemic flu took out your ability to run
your business, would you be capable of getting up-and-running immediately?
Within 24 hours or less? 48 hours? 72 hours? Or, ever? Today's global
business climate demands that most businesses be available 24/7--at least on
the cyber-level, if not through its physical infrastructure.
The Institute for Business and Home Safety has established that 43% of all
businesses involved in local disasters never reopen. Of those who reopen, an
additional 29% are gone within two years...because they did not establish a
business continuity and disaster recovery plan.

If time or staff is limited--or your company just needs guidance to get you on
the right tract--consider engaging a BCP consultant to assist with project
planning, testing, updating and maintenance. At Business Continuity - BCP,
we provide inventory and analysis of your existing human and physical
infrastructure to evaluate and determine your crucial Business Continuity
Planning needs.
To do this, you must analyze and assess all potential risks to--and impacts
upon--your business that could possibly shut you down. Depending on
circumstances, the risks could include a tornado, hurricane, flash flood, fire,
earthquake, power blackout or power spikes, terrorist attacks, a biological
epidemic, or other disasters.
After all, why take chances that--in spite of all your brilliant efforts--your
company could permanently close due to a natural or man-made disaster
such as a blizzard or ice storm, a chemical spill, or a cyber attack.
