google basel 11....

That looks like a message that was meant for the business division of the bank, not for bank members. Freudian slip? I wonder who pressed "SEND".

[link to www.bos.frb.org]

Fed Reserve Bank/Boston, has the same info on their website, minus the typos.

BS...

Wheres the link then?

Well, in TN it is so and there is a link, video and all:

[link to newsusa.myfeedportal.com]

Maybe it's regarding H1N1; most businesses are being encouraged to establish a plan in case of an epidemic.

Here's ther link to my banks website.

No B.S. here!

Sorry, I don't know how to post a link but this is the url.

[link to www.j-cbank.com (secure)]

Guess you'll have to copy and paste.

This is really odd for my small bank to do!

The BS is getting deep in here.

The BS is getting deep in here.

Checked the link, it's for real. Kinda makes you wonder, are they the next to be at the bad end of the FDIC this Friday, are they talking about just any emergency, weather or power related, or are they just getting ready for the BIG one!

It will be interesting to see if more banks start posting a continuity poan like this...but it is sure strange with FDIC's reports due out. I'm not taking any chances.

Complete

What BS??? Cause I don't know how to post a link? I'll admit I'm a little slow at computers. I build cars for a living.

Why not look up the url, or tell me how to post it as a link?

I worked for a bank a while back. They were required to have a business continuity plan, and they had to test it on a regular basis.

Odd that you got that email, but not odd that the banks have disaster recovery procedures in place - they have to.

Checked on a few banks, looks like it is a common thing for banks to have, most likely weather, terrorist related types of events. Seems to have evolved after 9/11/01.

NatCity Investments Business Continuity Policy
NatCity Investments, Inc.
NatCity Investments, Inc. (NatCity) and our clearing firm First Clearing, LLC (FCC) have developed Business Continuity Plans designed to ensure that you are not significantly affected as a result of an emergency or business disruption. We are providing these documents to give you summary information on these plans.
FCC acts as NatCity's clearing firm and your assets are maintained at FCC. The business continuity plans for NatCity and FCC are designed to address key areas of concern — including but not limited to the following:

* Data back-up and recovery;
* All mission critical systems;
* Financial and Operational assessments;
* Alternate means of communication between FCC, NatCity and customers;
* Alternate means of communication between FCC, NatCity and employees;
* Alternate physical locations of employees;
* Critical business constituent, bank, and counter-party impact;
* Regulatory reporting;
* Communication with regulators; and
* How NatCity and FCC will ensure that customers have access to their funds and securities in the event either firm determines it is unable to continue its business.

Since events creating business disruptions may vary in nature and scope, NatCity and FCC have anticipated scenarios in which the following are affected:

* A primary NatCity or FCC building at a headquarter location
* A branch location
* A city-wide area
* A regional area

Regardless of the scope of potential disruption, NatCity intends to continue to provide service to our clients. In the event where a primary building or business district is affected, NatCity has several backup facilities located from 5 to 50 miles from our headquarters. These facilities have 24-hour security services. Should one of the facilities be affected by a disruption, others can be used to help restore operations.
In the unlikely event of a citywide or regional disruption, NatCity has established several recovery sites located from 50 to 150 miles from our headquarters that can be used to restore time sensitive functions as soon as key employees are relocated to the facility. Additionally, as a subsidiary of a The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc., NatCity would intend to take advantage of any available facilities of affiliates that may be located in unaffected areas. In the event that any such disruption occurs we have developed alternative service arrangements, systems, locations, and contingency plans to ensure that service is quickly restored.
At a minimum, NatCity’s business continuity plan is reviewed, updated and tested on an annual basis. Additionally, our primary internal and external application providers periodically conduct testing of their own back-up capabilities to ensure that, in the event of an emergency or significant business disruption, they will be able to provide us with the critical information and applications we need to continue, or promptly resume our business.
The Business Continuity Disclosure Policy of our clearing firm, FCC, is also below for your review.
First Clearing, LLC
First Clearing, LLC (“FCC”) acts as the clearing firm, providing back-office and trade support for the broker-dealer that you maintain an account with. Your assets are maintained with FCC. Accordingly, FCC is furnishing this document to you to provide information about our efforts to ensure that impact to your business is minimized in the event of an emergency or disaster.
Securities Industry regulations require each member firm to create and maintain a business continuity plan reasonably designed to meet its obligations to its clients or other counter-parties. In accordance with these requirements, FCC has designed a business continuity plan to address possible scenarios in efforts to minimize any service impact to our introducing firms or their clients.
In keeping with the regulatory requirements, the business continuity plan for FCC is designed to address key areas of concern - including but not limited to the following:

* Data back-up and recovery;
* All mission critical systems;
* Financial and Operational assessments;
* Alternate means of communication between FCC, NatCity and customers;
* Alternate means of communication between FCC, NatCity and employees;
* Alternate physical locations of employees;
* Critical business constituent, bank, and counter-party impact;
* Regulatory reporting;
* Communication with regulators; and
* How NatCity and FCC will ensure that customers have access to their funds and securities in the event either firm determines it is unable to continue its business.

Since events creating business disruptions may vary in nature and scope, FCC has anticipated scenarios in which the following are affected:

* A primary NatCity or FCC building at a headquarter location
* A branch location
* A city-wide area
* A regional area

Regardless of the scope of potential disruption, FCC intends to continue to provide service to its introducing firms and their clients.
In the event where the primary building or business district is affected, the firm is fortunate to have a divided corporate presence in the Richmond, VA area, with two primary buildings located approximately twenty miles apart. Both buildings are served by UPS systems and have 24-hour security services. Should one of the primary buildings be affected by a disruption, the other building can be used to help restore operations.
In the unlikely event of a citywide or regional disruption, FCC has established a recovery site approximately 150 miles from its headquarters that can be used to restore time sensitive functions as soon as key employees are relocated to the facility. Additionally, as a subsidiary of a large financial institution, FCC would intend to take advantage of any available facilities of other affiliates that may be located in other geographical regions. In the event that any such disruption occurs, we have developed alternative service arrangements, systems, locations and contingency plans to ensure that any service is quickly restored.
FCC has identified several computer applications with Mission Critical or High criticality ratings and has documented this within the business continuity plans. Our primary application provider, Thomson Beta Systems Inc. has conducted successful testing with FCC, generally two or three times per year since November 2000. Finally, through its parent company, FCC utilizes data centers, located outside of Virginia, which regularly perform disaster recovery testing.
At a minimum, the FCC business continuity plan is reviewed, updated and tested on an annual basis. Additionally, our primary internal and external application providers periodically conduct testing of their own back-up capabilities to ensure that, in the event of an emergency or significant business disruption, they will be able to provide us with the critical information and applications we need to continue or promptly resume our business. When testing our plan, we review the recovery time and resumption time period for all mission critical systems.
Making sure that any type of disruption does not unduly impact our introducing firms or their clients is extremely important to us, and our business continuity plan is designed to allow us to continue to provide the quality service you have come to expect from FCC.

Maybe cuz the FDIC is broke and a wave of bank failures is imminent...

All public companies are required by law to maintain business continuity and disaster recovery plans, and to review and update them annually. It's part of the Sarbannes-Oxley legislation.
