Business Continuity Professional Exam Prep #2

Answer: D - Shelter in place is the process of setting up and securing people in a facility or area where a crisis has occurred. This is used primarily when the people cannot be safely transported to an alternative location due to safety reasons.

Key Takeaway: While not ideal, shelter in place can provide for the basic human needs during a crisis situation where people are unable to leave the crisis area. Plans should be made ahead of time and be incorporated into the Business Continuity Plan, to provide adequate resources should a crisis occur and shelter in place become necessary.
