NFPA 1600 Standard on Disaster/Emergency Management and Business Continuity/Continuity of Operations Programs 2016 Edition This edition of NFPA 1600, Standard on Disaster/Emergency Mana

31、gement and Business Continuity/ Continuity of Operations Programs, was prepared by the Committee on Emergency Management and Business Continuity. It was issued by the Standards Council on November 14, 2015, with an effective date of December 4, 2015, and supersedes all previous editions. This editio

32、n of NFPA 1600 was approved as an American National Standard on December 4, 2015. Origin and Development of NFPA 1600 The NFPA Standards Council established the Disaster Management Committee in January 1991. The committee was given the responsibility for developing documents relating to preparedness

33、 for, response to, and recovery from disasters resulting from natural, human-caused, and technological causes. The rst edition of NFPA 1600, titled Recommended Practice for Disaster Management, was adopted by the NFPA membership in 1995. The 2000 edition incorporated a “total program approach” for d

34、isaster/emergency management and business continuity programs. That edition provided a standardized basis for disaster/ emergency management and business continuity programs in the private and public sectors by dening common program elements, techniques, and processes. Hazard mitigation was added to

35、 the standard for the protection of life and property. The annexes were also expanded to provide additional explanatory material. Signicantly, the committee voted to move the document from a “recommended practice” to a “standard” by incorporating mandatory language (i.e., “shall” in place of “should

36、”) in accordance with NFPAs Manual of Style. Reecting contributions from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the National Emergency Management Association (NEMA), the International Association of Emergency Managers (IAEM), and private sector business continuity professionals, the 2004 ed

37、ition was revised to dene the elements of an emergency management and business continuity program to be used by the public and private sectors. Crosswalks between FEMAs Comprehensive Assessment for Readiness (CAR), the Business Continuity Institutes (BCI) Good Practice Guidelines (GPG), Disaster Rec

38、overy Institute Internationals (DRII) Ten Professional Practices, and NFPA 1600 were added to Annex A. Numerous other annexes were expanded. The 2004 edition also incorporated revised terminology and was reformatted to follow NFPAs Manual of Style for NFPA Technical Committee Documents. A signicant

39、change to the 2007 edition was the expansion from the historical “four phases of emergency management” to include prevention, bringing the standard into alignment with the related disciplines and practices of risk management, security, and loss prevention. For the rst time, the logos of the U.S. Dep

40、artment of Homeland Security (DHS), IAEM, and NEMA were added to the cover. The 2010 edition of NFPA 1600 was reordered and expanded to follow a program development process consistent with the “plan, do, check, act” continuous improvement process. Chapter 4, Program Management, was expanded to empha

41、size the importance of leadership and commitment; included new requirements for dening performance objectives; and included new requirements for records management. Finance and administration requirements also were moved to the program management chapter. Chapter 5 was rewritten into four chapters a

42、ddressing planning, implementation, testing and exercises, and program improvement. Business impact analysis, which previously had been covered under the heading of “risk assessment,” became a separate section within Chapter 5. Requirements for employee assistance and support were added to Chapter 6

43、, Implementation. Requirements for testing and exercising were expanded within the new Chapter 7,DISASTER/EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AND BUSINESS CONTINUITY/CONTINUITY OF OPERATIONS PROGRAMS 1600-2 2016 Edition and evaluations and corrective actions were incorporated into a new Chapter 8 on program improv

44、ement. A self-assessment checklist was added as Annex C to help users evaluate conformity with the standard, and Annex D provided a crosswalk between NFPA 1600 and management system program elements. A signicant addition to the annexes and an attractive option for those entities wishing to follow a

45、“management system standard” was Annex F, NFPA 1600 2013 Edition as a Management System Standard. The annex enabled an entity to choose to adopt Annex F in place of the numbered chapters of the standard. In November of 2009, NFPA 1600 received designation and certication as anti-terrorism technology

46、 under the U.S. Federal SAFETY Act, and the SAFETY Act Certied seal was added to the cover of the 2010 edition along with the logos of the Association of Contingency Planners (ACP), DRII, and IAEM long-time supporters and contributors to the development of the standard. The 2013 edition continued th

47、e reordering of the standard to align with a program development process and the continuous improvement process. Performance objectives were moved from Chapter 4, Program Management, to Chapter 5, Planning. Prevention and mitigation were moved from Chapter 5, Planning, to Chapter 6, Implementation.

48、Resource management was split into resource needs assessment (Chapter 5, Planning) and resource management (Chapter 6, Implementation). Content on “communications and warning” and “crisis communications” was totally written into two sections: “Warning, Notications, and Communications” and “Crisis Co

49、mmunications and Public Information.” Requirements for business continuity and recovery were revised throughout the document, and new requirements for employee assistance and support were added. Chapter 7, Training and Education, was added to expand and clarify those requirements. In Chapter 9, the committee added program maintenance requirements. Annex A was reorganized, and new annexes were added. The rst notable change to the 2016 edition is the title. Recognizing that NFPA 1600 is applicable to public sector continuity planning, commonly referr
