Triggering a Crisis
Creating a crisis
To create a crisis:
1. See Accessing crises.
2. Click New.
You may also create a crisis from the home page (Quick access > Actions > Create a crisis).3. Enter a name and click OK.
The status of the created crisis is automatically set to “Ongoing”.Executing a Business Continuity Plan
To face the crisis, you must trigger one or several Business Continuity Plans.
To specify the Business Continuity Plans to trigger:
1. See Accessing crises.
2. In the properties of a crisis, expand the Triggered Business Continuity Plans.
3. Add one or several ongoing BCPs.
For each BCP, the corresponding Process is displayed as a column, together with its owner.The Responsible user for the BCP receives an e-mail informing him/her that the BCP has been added to an ongoing crisis. A Word document detailing the BCP and the recovery procedure to implement is forwarded.
The Business Continuity Plan executed within the framework of a crisis instantiates the recovery procedure defined in the BCP.
For further details, see Defining the Recovery Procedure.The recovery procedure is instantiated through an action plan. If no recovery procedure is available, you can initialize a recovery procedure through an empty action plan.
If you delete a BCP from this section, the associated business continuity steps and the initialized recovery procedure are also deleted.
