The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
Create a business continuity plan checklist for my business. Business type and size: [BUSINESS_TYPE_AND_SIZE]. Critical functions and systems: [CRITICAL_FUNCTIONS]. Locations: [LOCATIONS]. Key suppliers and customers: [KEY_PARTIES]. Scenarios I worry about: [SCENARIOS]. Produce a plan with checkboxes, owners, and deadlines: 1. Business impact: list each critical function with the maximum acceptable downtime, minimum staffing, and the dependencies (systems, suppliers, data). 2. Risk scenarios: for each scenario (power or internet loss, system failure, cyberattack, key person unavailable, supplier failure, premises unusable, pandemic, severe weather), define a trigger, immediate actions in the first hour, first day, and first week, and who decides. 3. Backup and recovery: data backups, tested restores, alternate premises or remote work, spare equipment. 4. Communication: contact tree, customer and supplier message templates, an out-of-hours phone number. 5. Cash: a minimum cash reserve, insurance review (what is covered), emergency purchasing authority. 6. Documents: where the plan lives, offline copy, vital records list. 7. Test and maintain: a yearly tabletop exercise and a review after any incident. Close with a one-page quick-reference card and the first three tasks to do this week.
