Before you start, gather
List real risks for your area in [TYPES OF EMERGENCIES], such as past outages or storms. Keep a list of [ORGANIZATION NAME]'s critical services by role to replace each FILL IN. Afterward, add real contacts yourself, outside the AI chat.
Starter prompt
Outline a continuity-of-operations plan for [ORGANIZATION NAME] covering situations like [TYPES OF EMERGENCIES]. Include critical services, roles and backups, communication plans, data backup, alternate work locations, and a checklist for the first 24 hours. Mark where we must fill in our own contact info. Do not make up vendors, backup systems or alternate locations we do not have; write FILL IN instead of guessing.
