Continuity Planning is a process that ensures that in the event of bad health or death, an individual or family or business is able to carry on with minimal financial and structural disruption. If the proper plans are in place, it will also lessen the emotional impact of death or poor health. Most of us have a great deal of control over our life and have plans and contingency plans in place to make sure we achieve our goals. But there is one thing over which we have no control – health. Of course exercise and eating well helps, but it’s no guarantee of perfect health. Proper Contingency Planning involves implementing insurance in order to create financial security. But it also means having other tools and techniques ready in the event of a medical surprise.
