3. Develop Continuity Plans NOW, and when you
experience a catastrophic event, you can:
 Continue serving your constituents
 Continue performing fundamental mission of your campus
 Preserve your reputation/image
 Maintain accreditation
 Reduce your operation risk
 Minimize the duration of a serious disruption

4. Department level Continuity Planning promotes a
Culture of Preparedness, where department members:
 Identify critical functions
 Describe how they might carry out critical functions under
conditions of diminished resources
 Locate and collect information that would be needed before and
during a disaster or adverse event
 Document IT and staffing resources and requirements
 Identify and complete Action Items that reduce risk and
contribute to advanced preparedness

5. The ‘All Hazards’ approach expertly prioritizes
standards from multiple organizations to avoid
lock-in to a single standard.
