BT Prepared
 

In the event of loss of BT’s telecommunications facilities the company has a number of resources to call upon. BT has in excess of 6000 operational buildings, each of which has its own detailed Site-Specific Restoration Plan.

We have 800 pre-trained managers who have specific roles during an incident. Their roles vary from Strategic Emergency Control Manager, Incident Manager and Forward Control Manager (i.e. similar to Gold, Silver and Bronze) and are backed by
our specialist team of experienced Emergency Planners.
 
Our hardware consists of a number of containerised exchanges located strategically around the country. These containers are linked into our network using BT’s latest technology. These containers can also be deployed at the incident site or a remote location if necessary.

For command and control purposes we have a number of Mobile Emergency Control Centres and Incident rooms located around the country. These command facilities are equipped with Broadband, Satellite phones, Mobile phones, fax machines, PC’s and fixed network lines.

As a Category 2 responder and, to aid BT’s response to civil emergencies, we have an integrated set of incident management documentation, supported by guides specially designed for particular emergency roles or incidents. These documents / guides contain brief details of all the special plans and processes that exist within BT in order to manage the wide range of emergencies which can arise.
