This document outlines a disaster recovery plan (DRP). It begins by discussing different approaches firms can take toward disasters, with the realistic approach of investing in reducing risks being the best. The DRP aims to minimize downtime and data loss. It addresses who will be responsible during disruptions and what actions they will take. The DRP covers preventing, detecting, and correcting issues, and communicating the plan is important. Developing a DRP is recommended for starting a new firm to invest in reducing disaster costs.
