The first step in handling a business continuity event (BCE) is an effective response. Analysis and remediation (recovery) can begin once the situation is stabilized. The core of an effective BCP is the Business Continuity Plan. The BCP must contain information sufficient to allow recovery of critical systems and implementation of failed process workarounds. The first time a team member sees the BCP should not be at 2 P.M. the day of an event, the first time they see it is the day after an event.”]
