Disaster Recovery Process• The target for full data and functional recovery should be
within 24 hours from the point of disaster in the order of importance.
• Disaster Recovery Team heads the recovery process
following the DRP previously developed.
• Make sure all employees have been safely evacuated.
• Locate Insurance policy in order to know what the insurance company will replace. (A copy of this policy should be kept offsite)
• If the building is destroyed locate a different building to
continue operating.
