Business Continuity Planning

Center for Business Continuity Planning

SPW’s staff of professionals designs, develops, and implements Business Continuity Planning, Continuity of Operations (COOP), and Emergency Operations Planning that provide effective prevention, mitigation, preparation, response and recovery in the event of a disaster. In addition to developing BCP and COOP plans, SPW utilizes an Exercise and Evaluation Practice Model to design, execute and evaluate its all-hazards approach to planning. Integrated into this model is our extensive planning and exercise cycle.

Our professionals are certified by FEMA’s Emergency Management Institute, members of the Memphis/Shelby County EMA’s Community Emergency Response Team (CERT), and trained military professionals in disaster preparedness. Our team members possess skill sets that include the ability to:

Determine plan development requirements
Define continuity management and control requirements

The SPW team has extensive exercise experience throughout Tennessee in Urban Area Security Initiatives (UASI), Hurricane Katrina, hospitals and public health management, fire, law enforcement, pandemic and logistics support. Our Community Resilience practice sets strategic direction that enhances regional response capability and capacity.

Our Senior Policy Advisors have at least 15 years proven success leading critical emergency management and disaster planning projects. They have experience engaging at all levels within the organization, providing both oral and written presentations.
