Essential management activities to support effective disaster planning

摘要

Just as many disasters contain common recovery steps, the disaster planning process itself contains common management activities, regardless of the disaster being planned. This manuscript outlines seven major areas of concerns that management must address when conducting contingency planning. This list of essential management activities will guide management, disaster planners, internal auditors and independent auditors to determine if management has considered the appropriate topics to ensure that contingency plans will operate properly when needed.
