Business Continuity Planning Definition:
In an effort to be better prepared for emergencies, UH personnel and its programs/departments must use a Business Continuity Plan (BCP).
The plan will assist in describing how your program will operate during an emergency and will also help guide your recovery afterwards to be fully operational.

Continuity Plan
•Why is it important to have a plan? •Why should each department and program have a plan?
![Page 4: Business Continuity Plan Presentation - University of Houston](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021409/6209c33510e0340dae4a6253/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
When an organization is faced with a continuity event, the plan will help decide:
• What will occur during continuity situation
• How, and how quickly, continuity actions must occur
• Where continuity operations will occur
• Who will participate in continuity operations
