Incidents which may have catastrophic impacts are not always in the "Big Bang" category, like fire or explosion, although these risks are often real enough. Have you considered, for example, what the impact may be from "simply" being denied access to your facilities? e.g. the next building may have been damaged, and emergency services bar access to all buildings in the vicinity. It's not your direct problem, but you are suffering!
In the event of major disruption, In order to continue operating, you, and your key staff, must be aware of what needs to be considered, and which actions need to be taken, relevant to the incident and its likely impact upon your business priorities at the time it occurs.
It's impossible to guarantee that people will consider all the right issues and items at the time. There has to be some forward thinking. Just as you take out insurance to cover the (hopefully) unlikely event of an accident, so you should develop and maintain a program to ensure continuity of critical business functions and services.

Royal British Legion Industries
Pentire’s thoroughness and attention to detail in helping us develop our Continuity plan was exemplary. Their professional input allowed us to introduce a plan far more quickly than if we had struggled to do this with internal resource and the plan is also far more comprehensive and robust than any plan we could have possibly developed without their help.
I would recommend Pentire’s services to anyone looking to introduce a quality, effective Business Continuity plan in a timely fashion; we would have struggled to do this without Pentire Solutions.

Exeter Family Friendly
Exeter Family Friendly have been using Pentire to assist us with our Business Continuity and Disaster recovery planning for the last 3 years. During this time I have been extremely impressed with way they have understood our business and helped us to develop plans to achieve very pragmatic and workable solutions should we ever need to invoke them. These are put to the test, with Pentire’s help so, that we have the confidence that in a “real” situation we also have workable solutions.
Pentire are also very good at ensuring we keep these plans up to date and they are not left on the shelve to gather dust.
I have no hesitation on recommending Pentire to any organisation wanting to develop Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery plans
