Cross-Training
In addition to identifying key personnel and equipment we at <Your Business Here> believe it is
imperative to cross-train employees to ensure continued productivity during a Pandemic flu
outbreak or any emergency event that would require employees to be absent for an extended
period of time*.
*An extended period of time would be defined as any length of time that would hinder the
productivity of the company. The length of time varies by activity.
A successful business continuity plan requires an agency to determine what its essential
functions are by considering its customers and their needs. Assigning a priority to customer
needs helps to distinguish between essential and nonessential needs, thus, helps to identify an
agency’s essential and nonessential duties. During a Pandemic flu event or other emergency
event, it is likely nonessential functions will be suspended
An essential duty includes:
Functions that must be continued in all circumstances
Those functions that cannot suffer an interruption for more than 12 hours
Functions that provide vital services
Those functions that exercise civil authority
Maintain the safety of the general public

The following is a list of essential duties/functions at <Your Business Here> that must be
maintained during an emergency event:
