Contingency Plan III

The next Contingency Plan task is also a required task. Agencies must have an Emergency Mode Operation Plan. This means you must establish and implement procedures to enable continuation of critical business processes for protection of the security of EPHI while operating in Emergency Mode.

If a disaster strikes and your systems must be operated in Emergency Mode you must be able to maintain the security of EPHI. If you needed to operate in a different location you must be able to insure the security requirements under this rule can be met.
