Freedman Consultings points to a plethora of resources on business continuity planning practices:

"In the legal industry we refer to this as Disaster Prevention and Preparation Planning. In the “outside” world it’s mostly referred to as Business Continuity Planning. I know, I know. . . in a law firm when we think of continuity planning our mind focuses on institutionalizing the firm and grappling with the issues related to the orderly succession of clients to the next generation. So you need to wrap your mind around this different nomenclature in order to take advantage of some additional resources I’ve found.

Fifty-two percent of the 669 business continuity planning (BCP) professionals who participated in a recent survey jointly conducted by Strohl Systems and CPM-Global Assurance, said they didn’t think their plan would hold up in the event of wide-spread communications failures such as those following a Katrina-like or 9/11 event."
