Business & Service Continuity
A continuity plan helps ensure that your business or organization's critical functions will be available to your customers and suppliers in the event of an emergency.
Why are Business Continuity Plans important?
Local business are important in the preparedness, response, and recovery of a community. A continuity plan can be used for any type of business disruption or crisis such as a power outage, flood, earthquake, or fire. Businesses and organizations without a plan could face large financial loss or close, hurting themselves and the many people they serve and employ.
