Business Continuity Program (BCP) or Continuity of Operation (COOP) program
Business Continuity Program (BCP) or Continuity of Operation (COOP) program Indian vulnerabilities have multiplied during last two decades due to increasing sensitivity from man-made and natural disasters.
It has never been so urgent then under current circumstances that private and public organizations plan, establish and practice business continuity (BC) or continuity of operations (COOP) program.
Institutionalized approach for planning and establishing COOP has become essential to suBusiness Continuity Program (BCP)- seven simple steps
1. Identify what will have negative impact on operations, and leverage opportunities to mitigate those things.
2. Identify and constitute a team of experts and decision makers for program planning.
3. Identify alert incident based alert / notification protocol and rehearse alerting mechanism at least once in three months.
4. Identify and document the critical organizational functions and an alternate site where they can be performed if necessary.
5. Communicate with stakeholders and employElection results on “Cloud”- In India
With increasing affordability of PCs and internet penetration, India is all set to have 121 million internet users by December 2011, a study by internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI) and IMRB has said. With this internet use in India is expected to enter a critical period of growth with the possibility of becoming the largest internet using country in the world in this decade.
Indian eGovernance policy and plan need to address exponential increase in users logging into Government websites for various services of which few services like election results attracts a sharp spike users for a short time. As more people go online to see polling results on Election Day, the increased traffic can wreak havoc on IT infrastructure not designed for huge spikes in demand. Emerging technologies and “cloud hosting” offers a highly reliable and scalable solution to avoid crashes which are agonizing an irritating.
Neighborhood Watch”- A New Role of Community in Managing Terrorism in India
Increased sensitivity to terrorism has changed vulnerability map of each state in India, specifically Gujarat, Maharashtra, Andhra, Tamilnadu, Kerala, Orissa and Goa. These states already have undue share of natural hazards and suffered maximum compared to any other state in India.
Indian unique socio-economic diversities span and hostile neighborhood demands for wide spread monitoring and surveillance up to village level - which has become impossible to implement using conventional means – i.e. police forces or electronic sensors. But this task can be achieved with community participation through programs like “neighborhood watch
STATE WIDE AREA NETWORKS vs ICT NETWORK FOR EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
The State Wide Area Network (SWAN) design and implemented under NeGP allows service disruptions during exceptional emergencies or events under specific SLA clause (force majeure). Design criteria for disaster response communication network are absolutely different from the criteria adopted for SWAN design as “continuous availability of communication channels” is more crucial during Force Majeure conditions than that of normal or study state situation. While designing ICT infrastructures for emergency response and disaster management state Government need to redefine the “service requirements” during “sever incident or emergencies” by accommodating exiting SWAN resources for use during “steady state or normal situation”.“Gujarat’s Green Initiatives”
While the Infrastructure necessary to meet development needs are being planned, designed and built in each sector – it is very crucial that such design investments are being made with climate change considerations, for controlling GHG emissions during the infrastructure life-time.
The huge potential offered by the modern technologies (ICT, automation etc) innovations for controlling GHG (Green House Gases) and enhancing productivity remains un-utilized in most of the states. I have been closely associated with several state Governments in India and abroad assisting them in ICT related developmental projects.
My close observations revels some of the unique and far-sighted – technology based - initiatives taken by Gujarat state for accelerating economic growth and at the same time controlling Green House Gases. The description given in the paper attached is based on my personal observation, perception and understanding.
Developing ICT infrastructure for Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) in India
Complete prevention of natural disaster is beyond human capabilities but the involvement of the state-of-the-art Information and communication technology (ICT) systems are panacea for implementing reliable disaster prevention and mitigational measures. ICT provides capabilities that can help people grasp the dynamic realities of a disaster more clearly and help them formulate better decisions more quickly. Advancement in ICT offers extremely effective decision support system, fail safe communication, data and computation resources that can be used to effectively coordinate a large number of geographically dispersed participants and assets, to exchange a wide variety of types of information, and to evaluate many scenarios and responses— all of which are changing dynamically.
This paper aims to address the role of ICT infrastructure as a framework for facilitating disaster management. A typical design and implementation of ICT infrastructure model comprising of communication, decision support and early warning components for enhancing efficiency and effectiveness in all level of disaster management activities is offered.
