Ready To Face Any Disaster With BCP Prepared

Every successful business should be able to continue even if disaster strikes.
Disasters can be local incidents like building fires or regional like earthquakes or national incidents like pandemic diseases. Disaster could be the worst nightmare. A server overheats fire that consumes your computer room etc. Study and analysis of threats such as disease, earthquake, fire, flood, cyber attack, bribery, hurricane, cut off public services, terrorism….

Business Continuity Planning (BCP) is a staff mentoring methodology used to create and validate a practical logistics plan for how an organization will recover and restore partially or fully disrupted critical functions within a predetermined time following a disaster or outage prolonged. The logistics plan is called the Business Continuity Plan. BCP is how an organization prepares for future incidents that could jeopardize the organization’s core mission and long-term health. The software industry has four major assets, namely facilities, hardware, network, and data. In fact, with the exception of data, almost all company assets can be replaced. Therefore, your top priority should be to protect the asset that is most at risk and hardest to replace: your data. The list of potentially business-damaging events is growing: viruses, blackouts, natural disasters, and even terrorist events. Good business continuity plans will keep the organization running.

Some examples that might help are:

* business continuity institute

For example a program “Workshop to see lessons learned from the UK floods” -Event: BCI Flood Workshop on Date: 21st November 2007 at Location: National Motorcycle Museum, Solihull.

* Some companies are actively strengthening their investments and business relationships in different parts of the world.

* Few organizations used IT to develop web pages related to flood hazard for customer satisfaction survey; visitors can evaluate Web pages. The survey will also obtain information on the visitor’s user/stakeholder group affiliation, eg, engineer, floodplain manager, homeowner or renter, areas of interest.

*Business continuity and disaster planning is an investment, not an expense, as some organizations say, such as ISO-related programs.

* India RBI Plans for Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Management

Some strategies developed as below:

**Scenario-based planning

**Role based training

**Consequence-Based Planning

Anyway, only plans without action will NOT work… Effective implementation and execution of plans is needed.
