BC Planning for Haze Scenario: Table of Content

This blog provides a table of contents (TOC) for a business continuity plan tailored to a haze scenario. The TOC serves as a general outline that can be customized based on an organization's specific requirements and the nature of the haze-related risks they face. The plan follows the BCM Institute's BCM planning methodology.

The TOC includes sections such as the purpose and scope of the plan, risk analysis and review, business impact analysis, business continuity strategies (including remote work options and backup systems), preparedness measures (such as emergency response teams and communication plans), incident response and recovery procedures, testing and exercising the plan, program management for training and awareness, plan maintenance and review, and appendices for contacts and supporting documentation.

The unique aspect of this plan is its focus on addressing the specific challenges and impacts of a haze outage. The TOC provides a structured framework to ensure organizations are well-prepared and can effectively respond and recover in a haze scenario.
