Critical Incident and Business Continuity Management
Critical Incident and Business Continuity Management exist to support the University in providing a consistent approach to responding to a major or critical incident.
A critical incident is an event that poses a significant risk to the continuity of core University-wide operations. This level of incident may also have implications at the local, state, or national level. Incidents occurring at ECU will vary and any impact will depend upon the geographical location, the potential to cause harm to people and the environment, and any economic or reputational impact upon the University.
Business continuity management is the system to prepare for, provide and maintain controls and capabilities for managing the University’s overall ability to continue to operate during a major or critical incident.
The flow from incident to recovery is illustrated below:
