Business Continuity Awareness Week

Business Continuity Awareness Week (16-20 May) is an annual global event to raise awareness of the importance of business continuity and resilience. It also highlights risks that are specific to businesses in London and for which they should be prepared, including fires, floods, adverse weather and crime, among many others. The London Prepared website has a wealth of resources to help businesses address these issues and businesses are also encouraged to take the quick, 10 minute online business continuity self assessment.
