The ability to provide continuity following any major disruption is at the forefront of every large organisation's business continuity team. Coach Direct offers the transport solution no matter what the circumstance.

Coach Direct provide the transport solution needed to relocate essential staff to a suitable recovery site.

Coach Direct can provide services either on retention or "best efforts" on the day. In cases of emergency relocation or evacuation, Coach Direct can utilise its extremely responsive SMS service which instantly requests emergency back up from hundreds of registered transport suppliers.

In recent times we have seen some of the worse atrocities strike at our capital cities, so at such times it is important to ensure contingencies are in place to maintain commerce and the safety of staff.

Various terms are used to refer to the different types of emergencies that may occur. "Major emergency" is the generic term used by the Cabinet Office and is defined as:

"any event or circumstance (happening with or without warning) that causes or threatens death or injury, disruption to the community, or damage to property or to the environment on such a scale that the effects cannot be dealt with by the emergency services, local authorities and other organisations as part of their normal day-to-day activities."

A flexible Coach Direct Emergency Response has been developed in which to respond to a variety of major emergencies that may occur. This involves the establishment of a functional Emergency Response Team (ERT).

During the early stages of the response to a major emergency, a Recovery Working Group (RWG) may need to be established to consider the strategy and issues for a return to normality. The RWG will normally be chaired by a senior representative for the client.

The RWG will consist of representatives of both Coach Direct and the Client, the latter supplying information and assistance to support the Relocation of staff.
