  7. Continuityassessments Reduce durationof break Reduce consequence

  8. How is a continuityassessmentdone? • Departments list theircommitments in our IT-system • Departements determine the acceptable accessabilityrequirements for eachcommitment ”If thiscommitmentcan not be maintained, afterhow long time (hours/days/weeks)will it haveunacceptableeffects on eachofourseventarget areas?” • Human life • Property • Environment • Societalfunctions • Basic values • The citiesattractivity • Social sustainability
