The plan considers a SBD to be any event, internally or externally, which disrupts or prevents the Company from utilizing its mission critical systems and/or performing its mission critical functions. An internal SBD disrupts or prevents only the Company’s ability to utilize its mission critical systems and/or perform its mission critical functions. An external SBD disrupts or prevents multiple firms and businesses from utilizing their mission critical systems and/or performing their mission critical functions. An external SBD can be local, regional, national, or global. Examples include fire, flooding, destruction from storms or other natural disasters, epidemics, pandemics and terrorist attacks.
