How to write a disaster recovery and business continuity plan
Written by Phil on August 16, 2011 in Business Continuity.
The Louisville community has experienced ice storms, snow accumulation, tornadoes and flooding.
Add to the mix the potential for train derailments, hazardous material spills, infrastructure failure, and bio-terrorism and in other parts of the country earthquakes and hurricanes. According to the Wall Street Journal, 43% of businesses that sustain a major disaster never re-open.
In addition to the disasters listed, other types of interruptions should also be considered, and may strike more frequently:
- Power failures
- Fire
- IT system crashes
- Supply chain problems
- Water main break, which happened recently near University of Louisville
