* Risk assessment
* Emergency response procedures
* Communication plan
* Training and drills
* Emergency resources

* Determines critical business functions, processes, supporting resources and dependencies
* Includes a list of the roles and responsibilities of the business continuity team and convenes the team twice annually to review, test and update the plan
* Implements a business impact analysis to evaluate the likely effects and prioritize the recovery of critical business functions
