BCP == Business Continuance Planning.  Probably other more appropriate acronyms and/or terms for it.  We had a handful of people that stayed in Tokyo (their choice) while some of us came down here temporarily to set up a shop that we can use in the event things get very weird again in Tohoku or there are extended blackouts in Tokyo.  We will also be using this a base of operations for client contacts down here as well.  

A number of us are heading back to Tokyo.  I still have a few things to do around here to make sure that this office is usable and will likely have to make a few trips back and forth.
