Harvest Right is a company that creates home freeze dryers for the preservation of food.

They offer a wide range of freeze dryers for purchase, which can be used to preserve all types of food for emergency food storage or daily use. They also offer dehydrators for drying fruits, vegetables, and meats. Some frequently asked questions include how long a freeze dryer will last, who owns the company, the disadvantages of freeze drying, the cost of running a freeze dryer, and whether their products are made in China.
Critical Functions refer to essential services or activities that must continue without interruption during and after a disruption or crisis. These functions can be government or privately owned, and any disruption or corruption can result in severe economic and social losses. In business continuity planning, critical functions are defined as a set of activities normally performed by a unit that must continue within the first 30 days of a disruption. The identification of critical functions is crucial for any organization to ensure the protection of assets and compliance with regulations. Critical functions can range from safety to supply chain and could lead to a severe economic loss if interrupted. Testing of hypothesis also uses critical values that separate the critical and acceptance regions. Overall, critical functions play a crucial role in ensuring the efficient functioning of government and business operations during and after disruptions.
