Description
Summary:Business Continuity Planning is increasingly part of normal business practice. Recent acts of terrorism, outbreaks of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and the Avian Flu, and various widespread natural disasters have served to highlight the importance of business continuity planning by underlining the substantial risk of major operational disruptions for businesses.

This is particularly important in the context of the risk of an influenza pandemic in the medium term.
