Creation of Disaster Recovery / IT Continuity Plan

Title:Creation of Disaster Recovery / IT Continuity Plan (ID: EPS218)
Author(s):Theresa Rowe (Oakland University)
Topics:Business Continuity Planning, Disaster Recovery Planning
Origin:Community Contributions (2004)
Type:Effective Practices
Abstract:

We began our disaster recovery planning processes after experiencing several disasters, including a building fire, an environmental contamination, faulty discharge of a fire suppression system, and several severe electrical outages. This practice is a process that we use to evaluate risk and plan for recovery from disaster. It is an ongoing process, not a destination. It is impossible to document everything needed for every disaster recovery. We need to plan on including thinking, reasonable people, and key backup people, who can calmly work through a situation. Each and every situation is different.
