[BCP] Q&A: Is it necessary to formulate one for each business office?

If the same corporation operates multiple offices, there is the issue of whether to formulate a BCP for each office.
Anticipated disasters and responses to them vary depending on the location of the business, number of employees, structure, equipment, etc.
It is ideal to build a BCP that takes into account individual regulations and cooperation between business offices.

However, it is not easy to formulate a BCP for all offices from the beginning.
Therefore, the first step is to formulate a BCP for the corporation.

What is BCP? When a corporation encounters an emergency situation such as a natural disaster, major fire, or terrorist attack,
・Minimize the drop in business activity level
・Shorten the time required for recovery
It is created for the purpose of

In an emergency situation, it is assumed that human resources, equipment, funds, etc. cannot be secured.
Human resources, funds, information, and materials are always needed to continue a business.
Therefore, if you are developing multiple businesses, you must consider where to concentrate your corporate resources.

The key point when creating a BCP for the entire corporation is not to assume that all business offices will continue operations, but to prioritize the operations that will be continued or restored.
For corporations that operate multiple welfare services for people with disabilities, it will be necessary to prioritize the maintenance and restoration of residential facilities and offices that support the lives of users.

Once a corporate BCP has been created and a policy has been determined, individual BCPs will be considered starting with the business office that has been decided as the top priority.
It would be a good idea to proceed with the BCP in stages, such as applying it to other business establishments and eventually formulating a BCP for all business establishments.
