1 Getting started.. questions to consider when revising or developing your plans DEFINING SERVICE / BUSINESS CONTINUITY Ensure the right people have the right information at the right time. 1. Understand your facility and organisation 2. Engage the right people and stakeholders 3. Agree essential or priority services 4. Understand your resource dependencies 5. Identify risks and weaknesses 6. Challenge assumptions about what will happen during an emergency or disruption 7. Document plans to help those involved 8. Help people to succeed don t design unrealistic plans 9. Communicate and educate staff and volunteers 10. Regularly test and review your plans PREVENTION Is there a common understanding of the emergencies or disruptions that could impact on your organisation? Have you verified your assumptions about how events may unfold and disrupt your services? E.g. will staff continue to come to work? What services can you provide without electricity? What are the essential services your organisation provides to clients? That is, how will you prioritise services in the event of an emergency or disruption? What are the critical resources you depend on to provide your services? E.g. casual staff, volunteers, transport providers, gas, electricity etc. What is the likely impact of an emergency or disruption, on your critical resources? E.g. staff may not to come to work if schools are closed, or rosters may not be available if IT systems are down. 1
2 What is the maximum amount of time you can continue to operate essential services without each critical resource? E.g. electricity, water, gas, waste removal, IT systems, etc. Who will you contact for help if a critical resource fails? Are contact details up to date? What supplies are likely to be impacted by an emergency or disruption? E.g. food, special dietary equipment or supplies, pharmaceuticals, continence aids etc. How will you ensure adequate and timely supply? What are the triggers or criteria, for reducing or suspending services? When were these last tested? What risks currently impact on the provision of services? E.g. staff vacancies, client behaviours of concern, budget constraints etc. What risks have particular implications for ensuring the continuity of services during an emergency or disruption? E.g. unreliable IT systems, ageing or inadequate infrastructure etc. What systems are in place for record keeping i.e. service records, medical records, rosters and personnel records etc? What processes are in place for o Backing up o Remote access o Storage o Transport of records What is the likely financial impact of an emergency or disruption? Are funds readily available to purchase additional supplies or meet increased staff costs? Is there a map or aerial photo outlining alternative access in and out of your facility? Is there a site map of your facility readily available for use in an emergency or disruption? E.g. identifies the location of water main, hot water service, gas main, air conditioning unit, electrical switchboard, sewer point etc. Is the map up to date? 2
3 Do staff in charge of the facility know how to turn off the gas and water in the event of an emergency or disruption? What contingencies are in place for managing services in the absence of electricity, water or gas? Under what circumstances is it unsafe to operate evaporative air conditioning? Does your organisation have a back up generator for use in the event of an electricity failure? If so, who is responsible for manually starting the generator? How often is this procedure tested? Where is the fuel stored? Is there a preventative maintenance program in place for buildings and equipment? How effective is it? Who performs building maintenance? Eg. cleaning gutters? What process is in place to ensure vegetation is managed throughout the summer season? Is vegetation managed according to CFA recommendations? Is there clear access to all buildings for emergency services? Is there adequate lighting and signage to assist emergency services to identify your facility? Are all exits clearly identified and not obstructed? PLANNING Who is responsible for developing and maintaining your service / business continuity plans? What plans are currently in place? How effective are they? Ensure each phase of the plan is clearly defined, documented and regularly tested. Include: o remaining on-site o evacuation or early relocation to an alternate site 3
4 Does your organisation have multiple sites or locations? If so, how is site based emergency planning linked to overall organisational planning? What are your legal, service agreement and policy requirements? Have you factored these into your continuity plans? Do you share buildings with another provider or tenant?

How are plans communicated to staff and other stakeholders? How often does this occur? Are existing plans easily accessible to staff and are they in a format that promotes ease of use? What should be communicated to clients, families and funding agencies before, during and after an emergency or disruption? Does you organisation have a communication plan or crisis management plan to provide situation reports to key stakeholders? Is the plan integrated with other relevant agencies? E.g. CFA, DHS.
