Can I book for more than one Emergency Management Consultation within Victoria?

While it is important for organisations to have an Emergency Management Plan, multiple consultations within a short period of time will not increase the model’s resilience and effectiveness overall. It is possible to book in multiple consultations for Emergency Management Planning, however based on ISO standards and other industry standards Agilient’s Business Continuity and Resilience program ncludes a Review and Improve stage, which encourages businesses to conduct a review assessment at a scheduled period.

How often should I revise and update the Recovery Plan for my Melbourne-based business?

We assist clients in determining the balance between focusing on preventative actions and planning to manage the consequences of possible disruptions.

Importantly, IT Disaster Recovery Plans (ITDRP) are not static documents. Agilient recommends including scheduled reviews of your ITDRP to ensure that all components are up-to-date and aligned with your current business objectives.
