It supports the delivery of regular social and health programs and strengthens disaster preparedness and emergency response by minimizing service disruptions that would undermine public trust. The document helps National Societies implement IFRC Business Continuity Planning Guidelines, offering practical concepts, tools, and structured approaches across planning, risk analysis, response, and updates.","Business Continuity Plan\nInsert Name of National Society\n[All text in red in this template is provided as reference only and should be removed and / or replaced by National Society specific information.]\nPurpose of document:\nBusiness Continuity Planning (BCP) is an essential and ongoing process owned and guided by the National Society’s senior management.
