Business Continuity Planning
Business disruptions occur for various
reasons including natural disasters,
loss of facilities and utilities, and unavailability of personnel and other
resources. The impact for such disruptions can negatively affect the
University’s ability to continue instruction, research, and provide services
to students, faculty and staff.
The business continuity planning process aims to identify areas of high risks, the minimum required resources, and the significant procedures to promote resiliency of departmental services and minimize the impact of business disruptions. University Risk and Compliance developed the Business Continuity Checklist and Template to provide a starting point for departments to evaluate their operations and assist them in planning for and recovering from a business disruption. The checklist and template are provided as examples and a resource for University departments when developing a new plan or when updating or expanding an existing plan. |
|
Departments are encouraged to review the checklist and template as they
develop their initial plan(s). The checklist provides a brief description of
the primary elements and questions related to developing a business continuity
plan. The template provides a framework to begin documenting the plan.
If
your department has already documented a plan, the checklist can be used to
assess your existing plan(s) for completeness.
Both the checklist and template are provided in Microsoft Word format and can be customized to meet each department’s specific needs. |
