For Emergency mail delivery, "the daily training," it's important. Even Emergency Workflow (contingency plan) is ready, it is not easy to respond immediate or timeliness in practice.
In other words, in the [drill] that assuming disaster, incidents and accidents, "emergency mail delivery flow" should be better used actually. It also enable to figure out how long it takes from "Drafting by staff" to "Approval by the principal" by looking over past drill records. Workflow (BPMS) that is able to refer and analyze "Previous data" and "Processing records" at any time is helpful. （see：Comparing Workflow Products）
