Consolidated Report
Minimum Resources Required During a Disaster for CBF-1 to CBF-6
This chapter, “Minimum Resources Required During a Disaster for CBF-1 to CBF-6 for the Ministry of Manpower (MOM)”, presents a consolidated view of the minimum resources required to sustain MOM’s critical business functions during disruptive incidents.
It focuses on the essential people, facilities, technology, and supporting resources needed to ensure operational continuity across regulatory, operational, labour market, and corporate support functions.
By documenting these minimum requirements, the chapter establishes a clear, auditable baseline aligned with MOM’s Business Continuity Strategy and supports informed decision-making during crises.
The purpose of this chapter is to enable senior management, crisis leaders, and business owners to understand what is minimally necessary to maintain critical services without over-committing scarce resources during a disaster.
Readers are expected to gain clarity on resource prioritisation, inter-CBF consistency, and recovery readiness, and on how these requirements translate into practical recovery planning.
This chapter, therefore, serves as both a management reference for approval and a planning guide to support the effective activation of business continuity arrangements under stress.

In conclusion, the minimum resource requirements defined for CBF-1 through CBF-6 provide MOM with a structured, realistic foundation for sustaining essential operations during disruptive events.
By consolidating resource needs across staffing, workspace, communications, IT equipment, and other critical enablers, this chapter reinforces a consistent and standardised approach to disaster preparedness.
It ensures that each critical business function can operate at an acceptable level while maintaining alignment with MOM’s overall resilience objectives.
Ultimately, this chapter supports management assurance that MOM is operationally ready to respond to disruptions in a controlled and prioritised manner.
The documented minimum resource requirements not only facilitate faster and more confident decision-making during a crisis, but also inform future investments, testing, and continuous improvement of the Business Continuity Management programme.
As such, this chapter plays a key role in strengthening MOM’s organisational resilience and its ability to deliver essential services under adverse conditions.
