Tuguegarao City, Cagayan – The Commission on Higher Education Regional Office II (CHEDRO II) convened a pivotal event at its auditorium to present and refine its Business Continuity Plan (BCP) held on February 25, 2025 at the CHEDRO II Auditorium. This initiative underscores CHEDRO II’s commitment to ensuring operational resilience in times of crisis.
The Business Continuity Plan is designed to safeguard employees, protect critical infrastructure, and ensure the swift restoration of essential functions. It prioritizes three key areas: personnel and stakeholder safety, resource protection, and service continuity.
The plan outlines strategic preparedness measures against natural disasters, utility failures, technological threats, and health emergencies. Evacuation protocols, safety drills, and alternative office spaces ensure uninterrupted operations during calamities, while coordination with local disaster agencies strengthens emergency response. To mitigate utility disruptions, CHEDRO II has secured backup power sources, established alternative water supply arrangements, and implemented a multi-platform communication system.
In addressing cybersecurity risks, CHEDRO II has reinforced its IT infrastructure through regular security audits, encrypted data backups, and staff training on cyber-attack prevention. Meanwhile, health emergency measures include flexible work arrangements, employee health monitoring, provision of PPEs, and routine office sanitation.
To further refine the BCP, CHEDRO II conducted a collaborative workshop, engaging key personnel in identifying crucial elements for each preparedness plan. This initiative allowed staff to assess potential risks, develop action plans, and ensure that the BCP remains adaptive to emerging challenges. Moving forward, regular reviews will be conducted to enhance the plan’s effectiveness and ensure that CHEDRO II remains resilient in the face of disruptions.
By integrating these preparedness strategies, CHEDRO II reinforces its commitment to ensuring continuous service delivery and safeguarding its workforce and stakeholders, regardless of the challenges ahead. (BPP/CHEDRO II)
