This veterinary practice faces threats to its small computer network including natural disasters and technical issues. Loss of internet access or computer use could impact the practice's ability to schedule appointments, access patient records, and process payments. The contingency plan should identify categories of threats like power outages, hardware failures, and storms along with their impacts. It should also recommend preventative measures and include procedures for at least one major disaster to maintain business operations.
