BCP addresses how to keep the organization
in business after a disaster takes place. It is about the survivability of the
organization and making sure that critical functions can still take place even after a disaster.
Contingency plans address how to deal with small incidents that do not qualify
as disasters, as in power outages, server failures, a down communication link to the
Internet, or the corruption of software. It is important that organizations be ready to
deal with large and small issues that they may run into one day.
