Managing Crisis Recovery Steps
Create a crisis
To create a crisis:
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:
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.
