Abstract
BCP (Business Continuity Plan) is important to reduce indirect damage caused by disaster. However, many companies have not yet developed a BCP because the effect of BCP is not clear. Therefore, this paper aims to analyze the damage characteristics and the effect of early restoration of business due to the BCP, using the data of listed companies, whose shares are quoted on stock exchange, damaged by the Great East Japan Earthquake. As a result, it turned out that the companies that had developed their own BCP had recovered earlier on average. It was also observed that the worksites, which had been damaged by tsunami or liquefaction, took more than twice recovery period as compared with worksites that had been damaged by ground motion.
