DISASTERS DEVASTATE BUSINESSES
Every major flood has devastated businesses. Those that survived and had a DR plan bounced back much faster than those that did not. The cost of recovery was also much lower. Is your business ready? You need a DR plan in place to ensure your business recovery is fast and without hitch. Some things to consider in a plan are:
- Access to Disaster Recovery (DR) plans
- Alerting key DR members
- Safety – ensure safe evacuation or place to shelter
- Alternate site
- Office systems at alternate site – phone, computers, connectivity, etc.
- Management decision-makers – who and how
- Communications – internal and external
- Insurance, suppliers, customers – are employees assigned to speak to each group?
