5.3 Developing Draft Plans

There are several BC plan 'printing' tools available. The MSTA methodology includes a plan template, into which dynamic data values can be special pasted, enabling plan documents to be produced quickly.

In MSTA software versions from v7.1 onwards, dynamic data is entered once only.
The entered data automatically updates up to 40 separate locations throughout the bc plan documents.

Individual recovery team plans are selected by a single mouse click. MSTA v7.1 plan templates will immediately display all documentation relating to the selected team.

In addition to the list of staff required for each recovery team, the following information is included in MSTA plan documentation:

1. Management summary of the recovery concepts
2. Recovery philosophy / policy
3. Recovery strategy
4. Building evacuation procedures and external meeting points.
5. Escalation procedures
