What Is Business Continuity?

Business continuity is the capability and capacity of an organization to recover and maintain vital business operations during and after a business disruption. Business continuity planning creates the risk management processes and procedures intended to prevent interruptions to critical business functions, as well as re-establish an organization’s operations as quickly and efficiently as possible.

The business continuity plan is the document that collects all the critical information an organization needs to continue operations during a sudden, unplanned event, such as natural disasters.

One important aspect of a Business Continuity Disaster Recovery (BCDR) plan is a calling list of individuals, both internal and external. This vital disaster recovery plan includes anyone involved in business functions (basically essential employees as well as vendors.) Keep it updated, with current phone numbers, emails and addresses, for the day it’s needed.

After Disaster Restoration, Business Continuity Management

Once you’re through the initial disaster, everything shifts to disaster recovery strategies. Your data center, your company intranet, and all the things that go along with day-to-day operations can get back online. If you have power, you’ll be able to start right away. But if not, that’s when you’ll need to create your own “power grid” and ensure your business continuity management process is in critical operation.

Generators will keep everything from the lights and water running to operating your data center (and the HVAC system that keeps it cooled.) How long will they need to operate? Without replenishing the fuel, the generator will stop once the tank is emptied. Running out of generator fuel—when you need it the most—can inhibit your recovery, and leave your critical systems open to breakdowns/shutdowns.

Another fuel variable—what about getting your employees back and forth to work? Essential employees are a critical part of any business contingency plan. Your business can’t recover if you don’t have employees there to do it. Specialty Fuel Services can add fueling operations for personal vehicles to your emergency fuel and business continuity plan, and help your business get back to normal as soon as possible.
