We want to be able to do tomorrow
what we were doing yesterday
(no matter what happens today).
The modest goal of continuity planning:

More formal definition –
Putting in place NOW the things that will enable us to
• continue serving our constituents, and • maintain our viability
following a catastrophic event (of any size or type).
Continuity Planning is:

Our approach is ALL-HAZARDS PLANNING:
How do we do it on the campus?
Answer: BY DEPARTMENT
Identify critical functions For each, think about
• people• space & equipment• information• communication
Identify action items
• Decentralization (esp. large universities)
• This is operational-level planning, and departments are the operating units.
• This is “nuts & bolts stuff” – only the departments have the knowledge.
Why do we do this planning by department?
Answer: an easy-to-use, do-it-yourself TOOL.
How can we engage so many departments?
Typical screen –
What does a continuity plan contain?
1. Critical functions of the dept.
2. Plan B for each
3. Information that will be needed
4. Action items
RECAP: Disaster events come in all shapes & sizes
Readiness is the key (“an ounce of readiness produces a pound of recovery”)
Examining our critical functions will suggest action items to increase our readiness
Many of these action items are low-cost and do-able.
