We highly recommend you store two copies of your finalized manual--one in print and one on an external storage device--in different locations. Getting startedAs you start to develop your plan, think about how a disruption to your normal business operations could affect your employees, customers and workplace. Think about how you could continue doing business if the area around your facility was closed or streets were impassable. Think about what you would need to serve your customers even if your facility was closed for several days. IA&B's Emergency and Business Continuity Planning Manual is a web-based tool comprised of two sections. The first section allows you to input and organize your agency’s critical information such as key contacts, vendors, service providers, and others within your community that could be a valuable resource to you in the event an emergency interrupts the normal operations of your agency. Once this information is compiled, the second part will become available which is your agency’s customized emergency planning manual. Creating a comprehensive emergency plan is a monumental task. That's why IA&B has broken this activity down into eight steps to assist you in utilizing the online tool. Each step breaks down the work into small, manageable components.
