The business contingency plan is a process put in place that prepares an organization to consistently respond to unexpected events (Small business Chron, 2014). These plans help companies continue or restore business operations in a timely manner after a major business disruption such as hurricanes, storms, tornadoes, fires, power outages, IT system crashes, or toxic waste. The process involves developing, communicating, practicing and evaluating organization-specific contingency plans. Now that medical device companies Enovacare have identified eight risks associated with the construction of their new distribution center, attention will now shift to developing a business contingency plan to ensure rapid recovery of business operations in the event of a natural or man-made disaster man-made such as hurricanes, floods, fires, power outages or technological failures.

The emergency plan should include working with the public safety agency to develop counseling and public reporting procedures. Sometimes the crisis can be very serious and the media can intervene on the scene or ask for information. To avoid spreading misinformation that could be harmful, the company should adopt a policy that only an authorized spokesperson should approach the press or anyone seeking information about the incident. Management must communicate the policy to all employees and also explain the importance of speaking with one voice.
