Do you know where to look for information and be prepared? Readypa.org is an excellent resource, everyone should take steps to learn what to do in an emergency, be it a fire, flood, nuclear incident or a chemical spill.
Identifying mission critical business processes and systems is a fundamental building block of the business continuity plan. After your critical business processes and systems and probable threats are established, the next step is to identify vulnerabilities and loss potential. This requires an extensive scan of the organization to identify vulnerabilities and then analysis to understand those vulnerabilities which would have the greatest impact on your critical business processes and the organization. This starts to clarify and quantify potential losses, which helps to establish priorities.
The goal is to minimize threats, impacts and downtime and to mitigate any losses. Fundamentally, the goal is to protect your people, protect your data, protect your vital communications, protect your assets and to protect your brand and reputation. The goal is to ensure your business continues to operate and to do it in a cost-effective way meeting standards of reasonable and prudent judgment.
