5. Examples
of
Disasters
a
hot
topic
for
businesses
worldwide
Flooding
and
cyclone
in
Australia
Mudslides
Rio
de

Earthquake
in
New

Tsunami
and
flooding
in
Japan
Tornados
and
flooding
in
USA
Flooding
in
Taiwan
…and
of
course,
human

6. What
is
Disaster

DR
is
part
of
a
wider
set
of
policies
and
controls:

asset?
e.g.
1min?
15min?
1hr?
4hrs?
1day?
e.g.
zero

15mins
out
of
