Business continuity planning modification

Business continuity plans could be reviewed, tested and updated every six months in conjunction with the annual review of all related policies, frameworks and procedures. In response to specific force majeure events and warnings, the public partner could, at a minimum, obtain from its private partner, the basis on which its opinions are formed, the services that are / likely to be affected, how long they are expected to be affected for, measures that the consortia has / will undertake to avoid or minimise disruption (including associated costs), insurance policy details as well as providing periodic updates on the situation. This information could be used as a foundation for activating public partner business continuity plans (as well as documentation received from other relevant sources). If separate from its business continuity planning efforts, government should initiate its communication plans to inform key stakeholders (including the public) of ongoing developments e.g. service availability and risks to public safety.
