This main Emergency Mode Operation Plan Template contains the non-business unit activities that need to be completed in support of Emergency Mode Operations procedures.  The following sections contain contact numbers, contact personnel, activation and notification procedures, overview of recovery teams, vendor contact information and recovery locations. 

The detailed recovery procedures for all business units (departments) are located in the appendix since these recovery plans are modified on a regular basis due to periodic configuration changes of the company’s Business Environment.  Furthermore, with continual changes to the daily business processing activities and operations, personnel, resources, and vital documents such as the detailed individual Business Resumption Plans for each department will be updated on a regular basis to ensure changes in the business processing (operations) environment are reflected in the detailed Business Resumption Procedures. 

Objectives

To make this plan functional, each member of the business unit (department) must be trained in their respective recovery responsibilities, overall company emergency management procedures (Crisis Management) and Disaster Recovery (Technology) Plans.  Each member shall have in possession an electronic copy or printed plan that is not located at the work site.  This copy can be kept at employee’s home, in the offsite storage location, another facility, etc.
