One of the most important components of a contingency plan is knowing what is contained in the plan.  Sometimes an employee can go their entire career without knowing how their organization will continue to operate in the event of disaster.  With that being said, share with your colleagues if you know what is contained in your organization’s contingency plan. If you have access to your organization’s contingency plan, how often is it updated and how often is it tested.  If you do not have access to your organization’s contingency plan, who has access? How is the plan distributed to your co-workers? Does it exist? If not, what approach would you take to ensure your supervisors, managers, and executives are informed about the importance of having a contingency plan?

Response posts:

One of the most difficult tasks of implementing new plans is to ensure all stakeholders have access to the plan.  While responding to your colleagues initial post in regard to informing stakeholders, provide suggestions on how to improve the rollout of a new plan.  Like previous discussion board prompts, respond to at least two peers.  The initial post is due on Sunday, and the responses are due on Wednesday.
