Disaster Recovery Planning

The tabletop discussion was related to a new book coming soon to Amazon in early 2015 entitled “Simple Guidelines for Successful Disaster Recovery Planning” presented by the author Harry Fisher. This tabletop activity included representatives from 8 areas (Hospital, Refinery, University, Elementary School, First Responders, Government, Senior Center, and Farm – Department of Agriculture). Businesses are taking a fresh look at their BCDR strategies, and most are finding they fall painfully short. The time it takes to overcome any disaster, be it flood, fire, water main break, equipment failure, attacks preventing network availability, etc. can all create not just minutes or hours of downtime, but days.
