Business continuity during the holiday period

An email from Garrison Continuity pointed me to a neat 2-page Adobe PDF file with tips to ensure that business continuity arrangements won't falter as many employees will soon be on holiday.

Truth is, the holiday period thing is just a timely prompt to ensure the arrangements are sound: the plans should be checked and exercised periodically throughout the year.  It's one of the regular activities for the Business Continuity Manager, providing additional assurance that the plans will function properly whenever a major incident strikes.
