Departmental Business Continuity Plans
Every department relies on people, facilities, systems, equipment, vendors and information to accomplish its mission.
A Business Continuity Plan (BCP) documents how a department will continue or restore operations when normal conditions are disrupted.
Departmental plans should identify:
- Essential functions
- Critical personnel
- Key facilities
- Technology dependencies
- Recovery strategies
- Communication procedures
- Vital records and data requirements
BCPs support the university's overall continuity framework and should be reviewed annually.
