🌪️ What happens to your business when a disaster strikes?
A flood. A heatwave. A power or internet outage. For small and medium enterprises, disruption can quickly become a crisis.

This training video explains business continuity planning (BCP)—and how it helps small and medium enterprises (SMEs) keep operating, protect employees, and recover faster during disasters such as floods, storms, earthquakes, or cyberattacks.

You’ll learn:
🧭 What business continuity planning is and why it matters
🛠️ How a BCP helps businesses absorb shocks and reduce downtime
🏪 Why BCPs are cost-effective and practical for SMEs
⚠️ How to identify key risks, critical activities, and business lifelines
🔁 How to plan for response, recovery, and “build back better”
📣 Why communication, testing, and regular updates are essential

As small businesses underpin communities, a strong BCP doesn’t just protect your business, it helps entire communities recover faster.

📘 To learn more, explore the guidance, templates, and tools developed by UNDRR, including the Resilience Maturity Assessment, to strengthen your organization’s ability to withstand disruption and adapt to change.
