Developing a Business Continuity Plan


2. Develop Scenarios

Once you have established a well-rounded team, you are ready to begin the next step: developing scenarios.

What do we mean by scenarios? Broadly stated, a scenario is a detailed answer to the question "what will we do to keep operations going if ...," as in "What will we do to keep operations going if we need to evacuate the building?"

Most commonly, a station's main concern is about staying on the air (or getting back on the air). For this reason, we recommend that you begin by developing technical backup scenarios and then use those as the basis for your communication scenarios.
