I-5. Emergency Preparedness. To support continuity of operations during an emergency, including a pandemic, the Commonwealth needs a strategy for maintaining operations for an extended period. One part of this strategy is to ensure that essential contracts that provide critical business services to the Commonwealth have planned for such an emergency and put contingencies in place to provide needed goods and services. Describe how you anticipate such a crisis will impact your operations. Describe your emergency response continuity of operations plan.

How employees in your organization will carry out the essential functions if contagion control measures prevent them from coming to the primary workplace. How your organization will communicate with staff and suppliers when primary communications systems are overloaded or otherwise fail, including key contacts, chain of communications (including suppliers), etc. and; How and when your emergency plan will be tested, and if the plan will be tested by a third-party.
