Preparing a Business Disaster Plan

Preparing a business disaster plan is all about what will be the risks to your business during a disaster. There are many types of disasters including: -

1. Flood – natural floods to burst water mains and pipes;
2. Fire – both structural fires and bushfires;
3. Cyclones and other Storms;
4. Earthquakes; and
5. Fraudulent Activities.

Here at Juparo we have prepared three types of disaster plans, being:-

1. Flood Safe Plan;
2. Fire Safe Plan; and our
3. Business Continuity Plan

Business Disaster Planning is all about your business and being ready to swing into action at a moment’s notice and a process of getting the business ready for “impact” and back into action once the disaster is over. You may have less than a week to convince your clients that you are open for business as usual.

The big negative to this planning is the time required; time you cannot spend on the business of making money.

Our “READY TO GO” plan is ready for implementing; all you need to do is customise it to your business. That is to ensure it covers any specific characteristics in your business.

Once it is customised it is ready to allow you to sleep a little easier.
