A complete business recovery plan is not built overnight, nor within the
first year. It is a set of documents, which are initially constructed, added to,
and/or modified, as you progress in the process.
An ideal plan will contain and identify, at a minimum, the following
information:
- Emergency response information
- Initial contact and command center information
- Critical business and support functions
- Prioritization of these business and support functions in respect to
potential revenue generation or loss
- Identification of interdependencies within your organization and those
external to the organization
- Itemization of business resources required to support the business and
support functions
- Documentation identifying space, work-areas, tools, machinery, materials
and supplies for each organization
- Processes for recovering each of the critical business and support
functions
- List of critical staff and corresponding work, home, cell and pager
numbers
- List of critical vendors and customers
- Business related information concerning insurance, legal, contracts, etc.
- Identification of the potential threats
