Every day, individuals, organizations, communities and governments provide critical services and perform essential functions upon which the whole community depends. Continuity ensures the continuation of essential functions across a wide range of emergencies and disruptions and is a part of the fundamental mission of all organizations.
Continuity is the ability to provide uninterrupted critical services, essential functions, and support, while maintaining organizational viability, before, during and after an event that disrupts normal operations.
