This maybe true for data but I see no consideration for any voice recovery or re-routing to provide a seamless service when employees are working from home.

Not the best method of communication during any disaster as more often than not the network could become congested, as experienced during the July 7th bombings. As outlined by the Civil Contingencies Act 2004, councils need to incorporate telecoms resilience in their business continuity plans. Benefits of doing this include seamless business operation as employees work flexibly on a day to day basis. ‘the potential improvements in data loss prevention and disaster recovery should be clear to any industry observer.’
