Overview: The article states that public and private organizations are scrambled to reassess their plans for business continuance in the face of previously unimaginable parameters of disaster. This paper briefly reviews the history of disaster preparedness in New York State from the legislative study of this phenomenon in 1978 to the current creation of organizations and positions to better position New York to deal with the realities. With the renewed and broadened thinking about dealing with disaster it is apparent that the concept of “business continuity planning” is a term that encompasses many of those terms and phrases previously used such as contingency planning, disaster preparedness, disaster prevention, and disaster recovery. This paper addresses the relationship of the historical approach to what is now encompassed by business continuity planning, and identifies the need for cohesiveness between business functions and supporting technology between development and implementation of planning decisions, and between and among agencies as vital to understanding and valuing this new and broader approach. The essential steps of impact and risk analysis and plan development and implementation are described and references are made to valuable planning resources .
