Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Plan
Employee Training
Testing of the Plan is an essential element of preparedness. All Organization
employees will be trained in emergency procedures annually. In addition, employees
that have roles defined in the Plan will be trained to carry out their individual
responsibilities defined in the Plan.
Plan Testing
The Plan will be tested annually. A summary of the testing results will be presented to
Senior Management. A copy of the most recent Disaster Recovery Testing can be found
in Appendix H. Testing will include, at a minimum, the following areas.
 IT Recovery procedures for all critical applications
 Emergency procedure testing
 Remote location emergency and recovery testing
Plan Maintenance
The Plan will be reviewed annually to determine if revisions are needed. New services,
changes in location, and changes in vendors will be considered during the review.
Changes will be made and the revised Plan along with a summary of all Plan testing will
be presented to Senior Management. Each time revisions are made, updated copies
will be distributed to all Team members and an updated copy will be taken offsite.
Emergency Procedures
General Overview
Upon information being received of any of the following natural disasters, the ERMT
working with the Emergency Coordinator will review the situation and declare the
recommended plan for the situation. If the timeline of the disaster is sufficient to allow
staff to return safely to their homes, employees may be asked to continue working until
close of business, which allows for time to make last minute preparation before
shutdown of the institution. However, if an immediate situation arises, the Emergency
Coordinator will declare specific actions.
