event could happen at any time. Incidents such as ...

- loss of utilities (e.g. power, water, gas)
... could result in the following ...

A disaster recovery or business continuity plan is
essential to protect the well-being of any business or
voluntary organisation. If you have not yet completed a plan, then
the Business Continuity Team can provide you with advice and
assistance. You can also join a network of businesses designed to
provide mutual aid in a crisis.
