Pandemic Business Continuity Plans

The threat of Pandemic is real - is your company prepared? Will you be able to keep your most vital business functions running under extreme disruption?

Some important decisions can be made well in advance of a pandemic that can significantly improve outcomes. It is very important to take a practical view and build in protection of 'mission critical' functions and processes:

• Protecting the core of your business operations for today and for tomorrow
• Identification of critical activities which must continue and are essential, and people who must be available at the time of pandemic crisis
• Development of business specific continuity requirements and vocabulary
• Tailored program coordination, information collection, and presentation
• Coordination with Federal, State, and Local Agencies and their policies and programs
• Integration of pandemic planning with existing health, safety & environment and security, Crisis, and Incident Management Processes

Traditional Business Continuity focuses on recovery of the process following some form of physical disruption to the buildings or equipment. Pandemic planning is different. The building and equipment will be ready to run, but finding the people and supplies to use them becomes the challenge.

We can help your organization to: identify the critical operations which must remain operational and to what level; develop realistic plans to interact with government and industry oversight bodies; and lay out a program to identify and coordinate staffing and operational requirements to protect the heart of your business; all complete, prioritized, and drafted to encompass your evolving business needs.
