Other Considerations

• Determine which employees have already been called up for military service and who might be in the future.

• Traveling employees– Know where they are– should be able to “phone home” for help anytime

• Communicate with their neighbors• Account for everyone• Test the Call Tree• Update employee, customer, and vendor contact information • Review supply chain routes• Back Up Daily – Ensure that all critical information is backed-up daily

and kept off site.• http://www.drj.com/bcp-war.html
