Disaster Recovery Plans.

Do you know what you need to do to keep your business functioning if you were to suffer a disaster? Do you know that studies show that if you do not get back in business within several days, you may never get back in business?

A disaster recovery plan will make sure that you have reviewed potential disasters before they happen. It will enable you to have a plan to follow so that you are back in business very shortly, while your competitors take a much longer time to recover. The disaster recovery plan is good preventive medicine.

Disaster recovery plans cover a number of areas in your operations to ensure you have minimal problems and that you have the needed backup systems. Some of the areas to be included are:

bulletInformation technology
bulletAccounting and finance
bulletPurchasing
bulletSales and marketing
bulletEngineering and product development
bulletHuman resources
bulletQuality
bulletFacilities
bulletProduction
bulletTransportation
bulletOther areas

A disaster recovery plan identifies the potential threats by using a vulnerability analysis of your facilities and operations. It then ranks the potential threats and evaluates backup systems, such as off site storage of information, back up sources for production needs, and many other areas.

Each disaster recovery plan is different due to the special needs of each industry and plant. A detailed discussion will identify those areas and we will work to customize your disaster recovery plan to meet your special needs.

Like all other types of plans such as an emergency action plan, this type of plan needs evaluation and training so that if a disaster occurs, all personnel know what to do to minimize lost time and production. The first company back in business in your industry stands to pick up additional work and clients due to the clients need for product or services.
