The Traditional Custodians’ unique values, and ancient and enduring cultures, deepen and enrich the life of our community.  \nWe commit to working in partnership with the Traditional Custodians and the broader First Nations (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) communities to support self-determination through economic and community development.  \nTruth telling is a significant part of our journey. We are committed to better understanding the collective histories of the Sunshine Coast and the experiences of First Nations peoples. Legacy issues resulting from colonisation are still experienced by Traditional Custodians and First Nations peoples.  \nWe recognise our shared history and will continue to work in partnership to provide a foundation for building a shared future with the Kabi Kabi peoples and the Jinibara peoples.  \nWe wish to pay respect to their Elders – past, present and emerging, and acknowledge the important role First Nations peoples continue to play within the Sunshine Coast community.  \nTogether, we are all stronger.  \nSunshine Coast Council  \nContents  \nIntroduction .................................................................. 4  \nBusiness Continuity Plan.......................................... 5  \nRisk Assessment and Mitigation Plan................... 6  \nBusiness Impact Analysis......................................... 9  \nData and Cyber Security..........................................12  \nFinancial Resilience .................................................17  \nSupply Chain and Resource Resilience...............21  \nEmergency Contact List ..........................................25  \nEmergency Essentials Kit .......................................28  \nPremise Preparation Checklist..............................29  \nCommunication Plan and Templates...................32  \nStaff Training and Emergency Roles ...................34  \nTesting and Maintaining Your Plan ......................37  \nResources ............................................","cbCais2ep74aqZJ2","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCais2ep74aqZJ2","pdf",6690508,39,"English","# Introduction\n## How to Use This Template\n# Contents Overview\n## Business Continuity Plan\n## Risk Assessment and Mitigation Plan\n## Business Impact Analysis\n## Data and Cyber Security\n## Financial Resilience\n## Supply Chain and Resource Resilience\n## Emergency Contact List\n## Emergency Essentials Kit\n## Premise Preparation Checklist\n## Communication Plan and Templates\n## Staff Training and Emergency Roles\n## Testing and Maintaining Your Plan\n## Resources","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of this Business Continuity Plan Template?\",\"answer\":\"It helps small businesses prepare, respond, and recover during and after unexpected disruptions by providing a structured, step-by-step approach tailored to business needs.\"},{\"question\":\"What key planning areas does the template include?\",\"answer\":\"It covers risk assessment and mitigation, business impact analysis, data and cyber security, financial resilience, supply chain and resource resilience, and emergency preparation checklists.\"},{\"question\":\"How should the plan be kept effective over time?\",\"answer\":\"The template emphasizes regular review and updates, practice through testing, and ensuring key team members know where to access the plan and how to respond.\"}]","Business Continuity Plan Template - May 2025 Edition | PDF",1789248869]
