A binder on a shelf
is only the beginning.
When a workplace closes, a supplier stops answering, or a critical person is unavailable, your team needs to know what matters next.
The First 72 turns continuity planning into decisions you can write down and test: who leads, what keeps running, what can wait, and when to change course.
Less uncertainty.
More usable decisions.
Build it. Practice it. Keep it close.
No course schedule. No consulting engagement.

Turn blank worksheets into clear responsibilities, service priorities, fallback decisions, and a recovery sequence.

Are there free resources?
Yes. Ready.gov and CISA publish useful free planning and exercise resources. This product’s value is an organized, editable workflow and original small-team exercises. The guide links to public resources.
