Infectious Disease 6 ‘Rs’ Plan

A typical Infectious Disease BC Plan consists of the following components:

• Reduce
  • The focus is on the preventive and mitigation measures.
    
• Respond
  • The focus is to manage and contain the Infectious Disease incident.
    
• Recover/Resume/Restore/Return
  • Limited planning except for some high level documented process to handle the critical business functions.

The focus is to restore the non-critical functions and damaged infrastructures so operations can return to normal. An Infectious Disease response plan must handle:

• Preventive measures to minimise contamination (Infectious Disease Prevention).
• Immediate responses to a disaster (Infectious Disease emergency response).
