Minimum Resources Required During a Disaster
CBF-1 Educational Psychology Services (EPS)
In the event of a disaster, ensuring the continuity of critical business functions is paramount for any organisation.
For SHINE Children and Youth Services (SHINE), "Educational Psychology Services" (EPS) is a core function that supports children and youth who need psychological and educational assessments.
During times of disruption, the ability to recover essential services, continue assessment and intervention programs, and maintain stakeholder engagement becomes crucial.
This chapter focuses on identifying the minimum resources required to sustain EPS operations during a disaster, ensuring that key services can be maintained despite disruptions.
The table below outlines the necessary resources for each sub-Critical Business Function (Sub-CBF) under EPS, including recovery locations, required staffing, and technological resources.
This table serves as a reference for SHINE’s disaster recovery planning, ensuring that essential services are not compromised during an emergency.

The table presented provides a comprehensive overview of the minimum resources required for SHINE's Educational Psychology Services (EPS) during a disaster.
By ensuring the availability of these resources, SHINE can effectively continue to provide vital psychological assessments, interventions, and consultations despite disruptions caused by unforeseen events.
This proactive approach to resource planning allows SHINE to not only comply with operational resilience standards but also ensure the continuity of services that are critical to the well-being of children and youth.
These minimum requirements serve as the foundation for SHINE’s disaster recovery strategy, enabling the organisation to resume operations quickly, minimise service downtime, and continue its mission of supporting children and youth in need of psychological services.
By regularly reviewing and updating these requirements, SHINE ensures that its disaster recovery plans remain relevant and robust in the face of future challenges.
