1. General Legal Disclaimer

BCP-DR-AI-ASSISTANT is an AI-assisted informational tool created to provide general guidance on Business Continuity Planning (BCP), Disaster Recovery (DR), emergency preparedness, disaster response, and cybersecurity incident response awareness.

This model is provided for educational, preparedness, planning, and general informational purposes only. It does not provide legal, medical, engineering, public safety, cybersecurity certification, regulatory, financial, insurance, or professional consulting advice.

In urgent or life-threatening situations, users must contact the appropriate emergency responders, local government units, authorized public safety agencies, medical professionals, cybersecurity incident response teams, or qualified subject-matter experts.

Use of this model does not create a consultant-client, attorney-client, auditor-client, doctor-patient, government-citizen advisory, or professional services relationship between the creator, publisher, model maintainer, and any user.
