We also have the business continuity plan template. This will guide you through four sections, helping you to create strategies to reduce the impacts of an emergency event. You can complete the whole plan as one document, or complete each part separately as they apply to you.

• Part 1 - Know your disaster risk will help you to assess the risks to your business
• Part 2 - Get ready will help you to prepare your business and staff for disasters
• Part 3 - Take action will help you to know what to do during a disaster
• Part 4 - Reassess, recover and learn will help you to track your recovery after a disaster
