is the process of resuming normal operations following a disaster by regaining access to data, hardware, software, networking equipment, power, and connectivity. However, if your facilities are damaged or destroyed, activities may also extend to logistical considerations like finding alternate work locations, restoring communications, or sourcing anything from desks and computers to transportation for employees. Disaster recovery response should follow a disaster recovery plan – a documented process or set of procedures developed specifically to prepare the organization to recover in the shortest possible time during a period of acute stress. This can encompass communicating with employees about the event, what they are expected to do, and also planning on how to continue business post-event.
