BCP measures for Natural disasters
Assign topic to the user
Answer:
I'm assuming that by unplanned you mean unpredictable, since that if something is unplanned then you did not devise any action to be performed, while by unpredictable some aspects of a situation are unknown (e.g., what will happen, when it will happen, the magnitude, etc.).
Considering that, and the fact that you mentioned natural disasters, bcp measures to be considered are implementing your continuity operations in a local that is far from the area hit by the event. For example if historically earth quakes have a 50km radius of impact, then your secondary operations should be in a distance longer than that. Another issue to be considered are the continuity of your supplies (e.g., regular suppliers have secondary locations or you can hire new suppliers).
