What is Business Continuity Planning (BCP)?

BCP is the proactive process of understanding company weaknesses and threats in a crisis and how to address them. The most basic goal of BCP is to be able to keep essential functions up and running with as little downtime as possible. Deciding which elements are essential is the first phase, followed by plan development, then plan testing.

Hi, thank you very much for the great explanation. Very good content! Can I have a MP4 version to share with my colleagues as training purpose in the organization I work for?

I like to describe BCP (a.k.a. COOP in the public sphere) as how to keep the rest of government services functioning despite and during an emergency or disaster taking up resources and attention. For instance, a city still has to provide police, fire and EMS services to the rest of the city despite a tornado (or insert other hazard here) severely damages a neighbourhood within that city. Taxes still have to get paid, libraries still have to operate, dog licences... wait! Or do they? What services can be reduced or even suspended, and for how long? This is COOP/BCP in a nutshell, to my understanding.
