Welcome to the Enterprise Business Continuity Planning Web site
The Enterprise Business Continuity Planning (BCP) program ensures that in the event of an emergency state government remains stable, responsive and operational. The Enterprise BCP program supports and guides state agencies as they jointly develop and communicate business continuity and disaster recovery plans. Business continuity plans include the people and processes involved in getting agencies back to full operations in the event of a major incident.


The Definition of BCP
Business continuity planning is the process of preparing for possible disasters. Organizations (agencies, communities, businesses, etc.) develop business continuity plans (BCP's) to describe procedures that will be followed in case a disruption occurs. The goal is to help organizations restore critical services as quickly as possible.

Agencies and boards in Oregon are required to develop BCP's. The Enterprise Business Continuity Planning Program at the Department of Administrative Services assists Oregon's agencies to develop, test, and update these plans.
