Business continuity

Resilience of any community is reliant on business and the ability of trade to continue. In order to achieve this business should be aware of the hazards which may affect operation and ability to function.

These ‘disruptive challenges’ can come from within or be external to the organisation. In order to be prepared business should identify these hazards and produce plans on how they would be met and dealt with. This is called Business Continuity Planning.

From March 2006 local authorities in the UK will have a statutory duty to promote business continuity, by offering advice and guidance to the business community, no matter how small or large. This process will help to make sure that communities will have resilience to disruptive influences.
