Disaster Planning Wizard

Introducing the Disaster Planning Wizard!

This online business disaster planning assistance tool was created to provide small to medium size businesses with an interactive tool to help you put together a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) for your business. It is meant to be relatively quick, straight-forward and (hopefully) painless! If you are serious about protecting your business from significant losses from natural and man-made disasters, give the Disaster Planning Wizard a try.



Why use the BCP Wizard?

  1. Asks easy questions and breaks down the business continuity planning process down into step by step instructions and 10 sections.
  2. Saves your secured information for easy retrieval and updates.
  3. Uses your information to complete a first draft business continuity plan for your business.
  4. Answers your questions and provides direction for more information.

Wizard Students, please remember...

  1. This tool will generate a Business Continuity Plan but for it to be truly your plan, you will need to:
    1. Get "buy-in" from the top down from senior staff to employees - everyone needs to know their part!
    2. Review, test and revise the plan.
  2. Again, the BCP is a dynamic document which must be kept up to date and tested, evaluated and revised.
  3. Also, please note, if your business is particularly sensitive to down-time, is dependent upon power or connectivity to operate or has a significant number of employees, you will probably need to turn to a BCP Professional for planning support. For help locating a certified professional, contact the local chapter of the Association of Continuity Planners (ACP).
