Business Continuity

Resilience of any community is reliant on business and the ability to continue trading. To achieve this, businesses should be aware of the hazards which may affect their operation and ability to function. These 'disruptive challenges' can come from within or be external to the organisation. In order to be prepared, businesses should identify these hazards and produce plans on how they would meet and deal with them. This is called business continuity planning.

Local authorities in the UK have a statutory duty to promote business continuity, by offering advice and guidance to the business community. This process will hopefully ensure that communities have resilience to disruptive influences.
