Documenting roles and responsibilities allows you to assign users certain jobs or titles for business continuity or disaster recovery plans. These assignments are typically provided by the Business Resiliency Director or Manager. Associating roles with Business Continuity or Disaster Recovery plans instead of individuals helps ensure consistency and accuracy of the plans if individuals associated with specific roles change positions frequently. If the role is critical, such as a key participant in a highly critical process, it can be designated by Role Type. These roles are also used to help create call trees to ensure effective communication between colleagues during a disaster.
The Notifications and Call Trees application provides a template for creating notifications and communicating information during an event. This application is used to document the notification, track the call tree (initiator and recipients), and associate the notification to BC or DR plans and Crisis Events.
