the MOST relevant items to include would be: (Select TWO).

B.

employees, suppliers, and customers.

C.

Explanation:
A: External emergency communications that should fit into your business continuity plan include
notifying family members of an injury or death, discussing the disaster with the media, and
providing status information to key clients and stakeholders. Each message needs to be prepared
with the audience (e.g., employees, media, families, government regulators) in mind; broad
general announcements may be acceptable in the initial aftermath of an incident, but these will
need to be tailored to the audiences in subsequent releases.
B: A typical emergency communications plan should be extensive in detail and properly planned
by a business continuity planner. Internal alerts are sent using either email, overhead building
paging systems, voice messages or text messages to cell/smartphones with instructions to
evacuate the building and relocate at assembly points, updates on the status of the situation, and
notification of when it’s safe to return to work.
