Ingredients

- How you will coordinate your continuity plans with external organizations and third parties?
- What are your plans for facility relocation?

Approaches
Individual sections of the Technical Approach may address back-ups and various contingency alternatives. A continuity plan, which can be part of the Management Plan or a completely separate section, describes these precautions at the project –level; it details how the project as a whole would continue operations in the event of an emergency.
A continuity plan should address plans and procedures for back-ups, relocation, and the implementation of contingency alternatives. A continuity plan should include re-organization and re-constitution of project staffing, back-up recovery and system re-deployment, and relocation. It should address roles and responsibilities, contingency plans, training of project staff, and testing of recovery procedures.
