						   In addition to the financial, productivity and environmental benefits, a telework program can play a role 
				   		   in the development, testing and ongoing updating of your disaster recovery and business continuity policies. 
					 			 For Federal government agencies it can also support Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) mandates. 
							Whether you have Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity policies in place, or are in the beginning 
				   		   stages of their development, be sure to identify and communicate procedures for your teleworking employees 
					 			 in case of a disaster, pandemic or other type of emergency that disrupts normal business operations.
