Planning information security continuity

I am working through the ISO templates we purchased. In regards to this control (Planning information security continuity), I don’t understand what it means. Do you have any examples or more guidance on what we are to do here?

Are you able to please help me?

Answer: This control requires an organization to determine its requirements for information security and ensure the continuity of information security management during a crisis or disaster.

A good example is the access control to a datacenter. Datacenters are generally classified as sensitive in the risk assessment, due to the volume or sensitivity of the information they store/process, and organizations implement controls such as electronic locks to prevent unauthorized access (the requirement). When planning information security continuity, an organization should consider how to maintain access control in case of an event that may disable the electronic locks (e.g., a long power outage). For example, the organization can implement a lock that can be also manually used.
