BCP Planning Made Simple

Since 9/11 what are our greatest threats? Network Security? Physical Security? Terrorist Strikes? Loss of Critical Staff? Power Outages? Natural Disasters?

It is something that we all need to think about. In today’s world, the risks and threats are growing each day. It is time for all businesses to be prepared.

How can this critical task be accomplished in all organizations? In some companies, a large budget may be devoted to the task. While in others, a manager may decide to have the computer room supervisor do the BC planning. In some instances, the person selected to start the BC planning may have very little experience.

Business Continuity Program

2 DVDs plus workbook on CD-ROM
by Edward Devlin and BCP Media

Ed Devlin is a leading consultant, author, instructor, and general speaker in the field of Business Continuity and Business Resumption Planning.

This series of video tutorials provides Business Continuity Planners with a means to educate all personnel in a business organization to the various sections of a Business Continuity Plan and the various elements of each section.

While business resumption planning has been around since the early 1970s, it is only within the last decade that it has reached the multi-faceted and sophisticated level of today. Until now the descriptions and explanations of the various sections and elements of a Business Continuity Plan has reached a relatively small percentage of personnel in business organizations.

It is hoped that the Business Continuity Planning team members to can use this type of training program:

• Increase executive management's awareness of the need to support the Business Continuity Project and,
• Help members of the various business units that have been assigned to the Business Continuity Project better understand what they are trying to accomplish.

This tutorial program has been divided into seven chapters. Each chapter will present an overview of the elements that comprise a Business Continuity Plan. The chapters in this program include:

• Chapter One is entitled "What is a Business Continuity Plan."
• Chapter Two is entitled "The Prevention Plan - An Overview"
• Chapter Three is entitled "Emergency Response Plan - An Overview"
• Chapter Four is entitled "The Crisis Management Plan - An Overview"
• Chapter Five is entitled "The Business Units' BRP - An Overview"
• Chapter Six is entitled "The I.S./I.T. BRP - An Overview"
• Chapter Seven is entitled "The LAN BRP - An Overview"
  
  A workbook is included. It shows the slides used during the presentation and allows the viewer to make notes of key information on the slide page.

Ed Devlin, CBCP, has provided business recovery planning consulting services since 1973 when he co-founded Devlin Associates. Since then, Devlin has assisted more than 300 companies in the writing of their business recovery plans and has made more than 800 seminars and presentations worldwide.

Crisis Management Plan - Advanced

It will also provide suggestions of how to get the members of the Crisis Management Team to take an active role in the planning process. The seven Crisis Management Plan chapters are: Goals Stages of a crisis Steps in managing a crisis The Crisis Management Command Center The role of the executive committee The role of the Crisis Management Team Exercising the plan

Disasters - Wrath of Disasters

Disaster Recovery Earthquake Video
This is a chronology of devastation, destruction, and loss of property complied for contingency and disaster recovery planners. The footage includes vital statistics and facts regarding one of nature's deadliest disasters.

Among the information included are the 1995 Kobe, Japan earthquake, the 1994 Los Angeles, CA disaster, and the 1989 San Francisco, CA catastrophe.

Flood Video
This video is a chronology of over 100 years of damage and destruction caused by raging flood waters. You can talk about The Great Flood of '93 that flooded the Midwest, but what about the Southeast flood of '94, the Great Flood of '77, and the Johnstown Flood of 1889? This video is filled with facts, statistics and much, much more!

Disaster Recovery Hurricane Video
From June to November, hurricanes form in the Atlantic and pose danger to the United States. These powerful storms also form in the Pacific where they are called typhoons; and in the Indian Ocean, where they're called cyclones. But whatever their names, these storms all pack the same ingredients: strong winds, extreme low pressure and tons of moisture.

This video contains footage of past hurricanes and their damage. Lessons learned and recovery methods are also included. See firsthand the devastation which occurred in Galveston in 1900 where 8,000 people lost their lives. Witness the destruction of Hurricane Camille along the gulf coast in 1969.

Also learn how a hurricane's impact can carry beyond the coastal areas to affect businesses and homes inland. This video is a must for anyone interested in protecting their business from potential hurricane damage.

Disaster Recovery Tornado Video
Twisters can form anywhere. They can strike in any country or any state if the conditions are right. But businesses in the United States are especially vulnerable, since more tornados form in the skies of the U.S. then any other part of the world.

See firsthand the damage these twisters cause and learn how others recovered from the destruction.

Disaster Recovery Video Volume II
The most exciting disaster video available can now be yours. This video features fascinating footage (not narrated) of famous disasters such as the 1995 Kobe, Japan Earthquake, Los Angeles Earthquake of '94, The Great Flood of '93, Hurricane Andrew, San Francisco Earthquake, Oakland Fires, World Trade Center Bombings, The First Interstate Bank fire, The Great Chicago Flood, Hurricane Hugo and many more...

A Lesson in Recovery
This video gives you 15 minutes of dramatic footage, both during the earthquake and one year after the disaster. When a devastating earthquake struck Kobe, Japan on January 17, 1995, massive destruction was the result. This video details the struggle the industrial city has made to return to its pre-earthquake state.

Fascinating Footage taken shortly after the quake allows you to see firsthand the damage which occurred to businesses and other buildings. Updated footage, taken almost a year later, allows a view of the recovery process.

This video is a must for contingency planners. It emphasizes the need for planning and details what can happen to those who are unprepared.
