Business Continuity is a process detailing the management of services and business during and after an emergency.
In compliance with the Civil Contingencies Act 2004, the Council has developed business continuity plans to ensure the continued ability to deliver its services. The processes we use to prepare our business continuity planning accord with the guidance provided by BS 25999 (Business Continuity Management Code of Practice).
The Emergency Planning & Business Continuity Service also want to encourage the business community of Havering to consider their resilience.
What would you do to help your business cope through an emergency?
What if you need to close for a day, a week or a month?
Could you relocate? Change your opening hours? Find extra staff?
The business continuity planning process takes you through
- Stating your priorities
- Identifying your dependencies, and
- Detailing your options
It goes further than a risk assessment by providing recovery details and combining information in one area, so you can easily find it when you need to action your plan.
