BUSINESS CONTINUITY PLAN
2019-2020
Revised March 27, 2019
Business Continuity Plan Overview: Southeastern Technical College
The Business Continuity Plan (BCP) for Southeastern Technical College (STC) supports the State
Board of the Technical College System of Georgia Policy II.D. “Emergency Preparedness, Health,
Safety and Security” assertion which states “The Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG)
and each of its associated technical colleges and work units are committed to healthy, safe and
secure workplaces and/or educational settings for all employees, students, volunteers, visitors,
vendors, and contractors. Each technical college or work unit shall develop, review and submit,
at least annually to the System Office, those plans and procedures which are essential to
respond to matters of natural and man-made hazards; public health; occupational and
environmental safety as well as security. These plans and procedures shall be established with
the goals of mitigating risk of individuals and physical resources as well as of maintaining
compliance with national, state and local regulations.”
The intent of the Business Continuity Plan for Southeastern Technical College is to guide
response and recovery from a major emergency and where appropriate, to be linked or
combined with emergency operations procedures. This BCP has been prepared through a
collaborative process across Southeastern Technical College, with a thorough examination of
critical mission functions, a systematic risk assessment of potential hazards, and comprehensive
development of strategies for each critical mission function recognized to be potentially at risk
during an emergency. This BCP is exercised and reviewed annually as a part of the evaluative
and planning process of Southeastern Technical College.
The following business continuity incidents occurred during the 2016-2017 year.
1. October 10-11, 2018 – Closure of all STC campuses due to Hurricane Michael.
Southeastern Technical College engages in the following contractual agreements regarding
business continuity: NONE.
Southeastern Technical College engages in the following training, drills, and exercises:
1. December 7, 2018– Active Shooter on Campus Drill. (Swainsboro Campus – Building
4)
2. Monthly Fire Drills - Childcare Center (Swainsboro Campus)
3. Monthly Fire Drills – SECCA (Coastal Plains Charter High School Program)
Revised March 27, 2019
The protocol for the retention of training records is all training records will be stored in the
Director of Human Resources files.
The protocol for the annual review of the Business Continuity Plan is:
1. An initial email will be sent to each operating unit with a critical mission function for
review.
2. Following corrections/additions, the Business Continuity Plan will be forwarded to
the President and Executive Council for review and approval.
3. The President then approves and signs the plan to be sent to TCSG Emergency
Manager and General Counsel for final signature and approval.
4. Upon receipt from TCSG, the plan will be distributed to all STC employees and placed
in the Emergency Notebooks.
In the event of an actual disaster incident to any campus of Southeastern Technical College, an
inspection of the campus will be performed by the Security and Facilities Department.
Following the inspection of the affected campus(es), a notification will be made to the
President as soon as possible. The President will determine the appropriate course of action
based on the damage assessment of the affected areas of the college.
The Business Continuity Plan contains the following components:

Recovery Details:
Recovery Strategy Overview:
Power, water, internet, and intranet would need to be available before the majority of classes could
begin. If classes cannot resume in the same location within the 72 hour window, relocation must be
considered. The first thing to do would be to try and find available classrooms in the same building or at
least on same campus to move the classes to. If there are not available classrooms on the same
campus, classes would need to be relocated if possible to the other campus, Economic Development
Center, SEECA, or an adult education center. Faculty would need office space with computers, printers,
internet service, and intranet access. Should the recovery delay be expected to last longer than 72
hours, program equipment and supplies would also need to be moved to the new classroom site. If
classes were placed online temporarily, faculty, Deans, and VPAA could work from home if necessary
until reasonable accommodations could be developed.

Revised March 27, 2019
Maximum Allowable Downtime (MAD):_______24-72 hours _______________________________
MAD Rationale/Justification:
All courses follow TCSG curriculum requirements and must meet for a certain amount of minutes to
ensure the students are able to fully obtain and comprehend the curriculum competencies and learning
objectives of a program course. The semesters are set up using state and federal financial aid guidelines
and cannot be extended.

Can process be suspended? _______No longer than 72 hours_____ Can process be degraded? __No___
Work-around procedures in place? ___Yes ________________
Work-around procedures tested? ____Yes_______________
Recovery Point Objective (relocation):
Many classes can be relocated depending on the availability of program equipment and supplies at new
location. Options for relocation include the EDC, Adult Learning Centers, Swainsboro campus, and
Vidalia campus (depending on which one was affected). Many programs are the same on both
campuses and could share classrooms and equipment if needed. The Diesel Technology students in
Swainsboro could work in the Automotive Technology lab in SEECA and vice versa. Clinical Lab
Technology could use the Science lab in Swainsboro. The programs that would be more difficult would
be: Radiologic Technology, Dental Hygiene, HVAC, and Electronics. Courses can also be offered online
for a short time if faculty have access to computers and software as noted in sections
below._______________________________________________________________________________

Work Unit/Technical College: _____Southeastern Technical College___ Date: ____4/25/19__________
Critical Mission Function:
Laboratory Instruction
__________________________________________________________________________________
Function Description:
Laboratory instruction is a very important component of student learning. Students spend many hours
utilizing hands-on-training to enhance their knowledge and skills in either the classroom labs and/or off
campus clinical sites. State standards dictate the amount of time that must be spent in labs per course.
STC offers many medical programs which require mandatory hours spent at off-campus clinical sites
performing a variety of skills at hospitals, clinics, and doctor offices. Mastery of these skills is absolutely
essential to students completing the program and qualifying for program board exams.
Additionally, students work on live clients in the cosmetology and dental hygiene programs on campus.
Students enrolled in these two programs must complete multiple competencies on live customers
before being eligible to sit for state board exams.

Backup Personnel: _______Deans: Gina Robison, Dana Roessler, Jessie Garrett, Cheryl West _________
Recovery Details:
Recovery Strategy Overview:
Clinical and labs would be shut down until it is deemed safe for students, faculty, and off site clinical
personnel to travel. The laboratory instruction recovery would depend largely on whether power and
water is available to the program classrooms and labs as well as off campus sites. Students and faculty
would also need the ability to communicate by phone, text, and/or email with each other as well as with
personnel at off campus clinical sites.

Maximum Allowable Downtime (MAD):____24-72 hours__________________________________
MAD Rationale/Justification:
Downtime is contingent upon power, water, internet service, and network availability to run program
equipment and computers. Additionally, STC would be dependent on the accessibility to all off campus
clinical and lab sites and the availability of the off campus sites’ personnel to precept our students.
The Commercial Truck Driving Program would be reliant on the ease of access to clear roadways and the
stability of the truck driving track.
Live work programs would be suspended until all the functions of the college are at 100% capacity.
Can process be suspended? __Yes for maximum of 72 hours. Live work can be suspended until college
is at 100% capacity.

Backup Personnel: Gina Robison, Sonya Wilson, Stephanie Moye, Blackboard Points of Contact
Recovery Details:
Recovery Strategy Overview:
Instructors could relocate to a campus (Economic Development Center, Swainsboro Campus, Vidalia
Campus) that has working Internet. Online instructors and students could work from home if they have
Internet access.
Maximum Allowable Downtime (MAD):__48 to 72 hours
MAD Rationale/Justification:
All courses (web-enhanced, hybrid, online, and traditional) have Blackboard shells. Blackboard access is
essential for online and hybrid instruction. After 72 hours or more of downtime, STC would most likely
have to work with the Georgia Virtual Technical Connection (GVTC) to come up with an alternative
method of logging into Blackboard. The method would involve taking down Single Sign On and going
back to an older method of Blackboard login. Students would have to reset their passwords. This
method would cause a lot of confusion for students and would only be used as a last option.
