Programs that help businesses and other organizations make an assessment of their vulnerabilities to a wide variety of threats (ranging from structural fires, localized flooding, telecommunications/data systems failures and other local events to widespread occurrences such as earthquakes or hurricanes that disrupt the functioning of an entire community); and develop a contingency plan for responding to an emergency if one should occur. A business continuity program includes emergency preparedness and mitigation activities such as structural alternations and changes in business operations and a plan to address the steps to be taken before, during and after an emergency to prevent or minimize interruptions in business operations and assure long-term recovery. The objective of business continuity planning is to reduce the level of risk to the business and control the impact on personnel, customers, suppliers and others associated with the organization.
