Businesses, both small and large, need to plan for operations during emergency situations.  Plans can be made to protect key infrastructure such as physical property, data, and communication systems.  Business continuity planning also includes measures to ensure the continuous delivery of critical services and products in an emergency.  Planning should also include the following steps :

• Risk identification and prevention/mitigation before an emergency occurs
• Preparing to respond to an emergency
• Preparing to recover from an emergency
