Business Continuity Resources
There are many resources out there, some good, some not so good. As with media resources, we encourage people to use reputable and authoritative sources of information and knowledge. While it's great to hear your neighbor's best friends opinion, unless they happen to be experts or at least knowledgeable in this area, you might want to nod politely and keep searching.
Here are some credible resources. You may find some ideas that conflict. But just like any other significant business decision, you gather all the data you can, then make a decision based on what seem to apply in your unique situation. If you find better information later on, you change course. All we can do in this rapidly evolving situation is the best we can with what we know at the time.
Resources
The links below are not exhaustive, but they are a good starting place. Some of these are resources for all kinds of plans, not just COVID. Like grocery shopping - take what you need for right now, leave the rest on the shelf for next time.
