What is the Business Continuity Strengthening Plan?
This is a system in which the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry certifies plans for disaster prevention and mitigation measures developed by small and medium-sized enterprises as “plans for strengthening business continuity.”
Certified small and medium-sized enterprises can receive support measures such as tax measures, financial support, and additional subsidies. Examples of items to be included in the plan are as follows.
- How to confirm natural disaster risks using hazard maps, etc.
- Procedures for initial response in the event of a disaster, including safety confirmation and evacuation methods
- Specific advance measures for securing personnel, protecting buildings and equipment, cash flow measures, and information protection.
- Efforts to ensure the feasibility of strengthening business continuity, such as conducting training and reviewing plans, etc.
