In This Section...

• We will take you through the process of creating
  an Emergency Continuity Plan, using Open For
  Business, so you will not be caught off guard
  when disaster strikes.
• Open For Business utilizes the Microsoft Word
  application, which gives you great flexibility in
  creating your Continuity Plan. Most likely, you
  have already used Word. The next section is meant
  to introduce you to some of the features specific
  to Open For Business.

4
The Open For Business tool contains 13 separate
forms, which combine into one preparedness plan.
The top of each form explains the information
that should be placed in that form. The lower
section contains gray fields where the
appropriate information should be typed in.
5
Each file only comes with one form. You will need
to use the copy paste feature to create
additional forms. For example, every employee you
have will need his or her own form. To begin the
process, put the mouse cursor over the fillable
portion of the form and click the sign on the
top-left corner. This will select the portion of
the form that needs to be copied.
6
Once the form is selected, click on Edit, in the
top-hand menu, and select Copy.
7
After copying, click on the bottom of the form.
This is the area you will be pasting a copy of
the form. Once your cursor appears on the bottom,
click on Edit and select Paste. Another copy of
the form should appear below the original one,
allowing you to put in another set of information
8
You should repeat this process as many times as
necessary. For example, if your company has 10
employees, you will need one form for each of
them.
9
Once You Are Done...

• When you have finished filling out all the
  forms, make sure to keep multiple copies at
  several different locations. You can

• Email copies of the files to your personal email
  address
• Print out the files and keep them in your car
• Forward copies to all employees responsible for
  disaster response.

• Make sure to schedule regular updates to the
  plan.
