Answer: Yes. In a general manner, you can have business continuity plans related to the continuity of business processes themselves and plans for the continuity of the infrastructure that support business processes. As an example you can think about a sale process supported by an information system hosted in a remote data center. In this case you can have a business disruption happening either in the point of sale (e.g., an store) or in the data center. For each situation you should consider a different business plan.

Additionally, the business plan itself must consider different types of action:
- emergency actions to be performed right after the disruption being identified;
- continuity actions to bring activities back to minimum agreed levels;
- recovery actions to bring activities back to normal operations.
