[BCM] [SHINE] [E3] [BCS] [T3] [CBF] [7] Minimum Resources Required during a Disaster

CBF-7 Communications & Stakeholder Coordination

Effective community and school social work relies on timely, coordinated communication and stakeholder engagement during disasters.

For SHINE Children and Youth Services (SHINE), ensuring minimal disruption to its critical social work functions requires clearly defined recovery locations, essential resources, and personnel readiness.

This chapter outlines the minimum resources required for each sub-critical business function (Sub-CBF) under CBF-07 to maintain continuity in service delivery, safeguard the welfare of children and youth, and sustain stakeholder confidence during a disaster scenario.

By identifying the minimum resources—including staff, equipment, and infrastructure—SHINE can prioritise resource allocation, prepare contingency arrangements, and expedite the resumption of operations.

This proactive approach ensures that both internal and external communications remain operational and practical, thereby supporting the organisation's overall resilience during crises.

Table S3: Minimum Resources Required During a Disaster for CBF-7

Preparedness in social work functions during disasters is critical to ensure the continuity of services, particularly for vulnerable children and youth.

By defining the minimum resources required for each Sub-CBF under CBF-07, SHINE can maintain operational readiness, streamline recovery efforts, and sustain confidence among internal and external stakeholders during crises.

This systematic approach ensures that essential communication channels remain functional, staff responsibilities are clearly delineated, and critical social work activities can continue with minimal disruption.

Regular review and testing of these minimum resource requirements will further enhance SHINE’s resilience and capacity to respond effectively during future disasters.
