Continuity of Operations Planning

Here is a link to a very interesting government website called Ready.gov. In this section of the site, there is a sample emergency plan, which I think you will find very useful, and it might also make you ask yourself some uncomfortable questions. Who is going to do your payroll if you payroll person is out with the H1N1 virus? Your employees aren’t going to work for free! Even if your company isn’t directly affected by the virus, what if one of your primary suppliers is? Do you have an alternate means of getting “Widget A” or “Sprocket B” if your supplier is out of commission?

Check out this website, and review the sample plan. You’ll be glad you did.

Check out a sneak peak of the 2011 Chevy Caprice PPV. 5″ more leg room than a Crown Vic! 355 HP in the V8, but with cylinder deactivation so it will still get some decent feul economy. And it runs on flex-fuel too!
