Disaster Recovery Plan
1.0 Disaster Recovery Plan Overview
1.1 Policy Statement
It is the Policy of Sample Company (“Sample”) to maintain a comprehensive Business
Continuity Plan for all critical organization functions. Each department head is responsible for
ensuring compliance with this policy and that their respective plan component is tested no less
than annually. Sample’s Disaster Recovery efforts exercise reasonable measures to protect
employees, safeguard assets, and client accounts.
1.2 Introduction
This document is the Business Continuity Plan for Sample located at 911 Recovery Drive,
Any Town, USA 99999. It has been developed in compliance with the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 1600.
This plan was specifically designed to guide Sample through a recovery effort of specifically
identified organization functions. At the onset of an emergency condition, Sample employees
and resources will respond quickly to any condition, which could impact Sample’s ability to
perform its critical organization functions. The procedures contained within have been designed
to provide clear, concise and essential directions to recover from varying degrees of organization
interruptions and disasters.
1.3 Confidentiality Statement
This manual is classified as the confidential property of Sample. Due to the sensitive nature of
the information contained herein, this manual is available only to those persons who have been
designated as plan participants, assigned membership to one of the Sample recovery teams, or
who otherwise play a direct role in the recovery process. This manual remains the property of
Sample and may be repossessed at any time. Unauthorized use or duplication of this manual is
strictly prohibited and may result in disciplinary action and/or civil prosecution.
1.4 ManualDistribution
Each plan recipient will receive and maintain two (2) copies of the disaster recovery manual; one
copy will be kept in the plan recipient’s work area; the second copy will be kept at the plan
recipient’s residence. Each manual has a control number to track its distribution. Replacement
manuals and additional copies may be obtained from Sample’s Disaster Recovery Manager.
Backup copies of all recovery documentation are maintained at Iron Mountain.
1.5 ManualReclamation
Plan recipients who cease to be an active member of a disaster recovery team or an employee of
Sample must surrender both copies of their disaster recovery manual to the Disaster Recovery
Manager. Sample reserves any and all rights to pursue the return of these manuals.
1.6 Plan RevisionDate
The latest manual revision date appears in the lower right hand corner of the footer. This date
indicates the most published date of the plan section.
1.7 Defined Scenario
A disaster is defined as a disruption of normal organization functions where the expected time
for returning to normalcy would seriously impact Sample’s ability to maintain customer
commitments and regulatory compliance. Sample’s recovery and restoration program is
designed to support a recovery effort where Sample would not have access to its facilities and
data at the onset of the emergency condition.
1.8 Recovery Objectives
The Sample DisasterRecovery Plan was written with the following objectives:
 To ensure the life/safetyof all Sample employeesthroughoutthe emergencycondition,disaster
declaration,andrecoveryprocess.
 To reestablishthe essential organizationrelatedservicesprovidedby Sample withintheir
requiredrecoverywindowasidentifiedinthe recoveryportfolioinSection2at the declaration
of disaster.
 To suspendall non-essential activitiesuntilnormal andfull organizationfunctions have been
restored.
 To mitigate the impactto Sample’scustomersthroughthe rapidimplementationof effective
recoverystrategiesasdefinedherein.
 To reduce confusionandmisinformationbyprovidingaclearlydefinedcommandandcontrol
structure.
 To considerrelocationof personnel andfacilitiesasarecoverystrategyof last resort.
1.9 Plan Exclusions
The Sample Disaster Recovery Plan was developed with the following exclusions:
 Successionof Management
 Restorationof the PrimaryFacilities
1.10 PlanAssumptions
Sample’s Disaster Recovery Plan was developed under certain assumptions in order for the plan
to address a broad spectrum of disaster scenarios. These assumptions are:
 Sample’srecoveryeffortsare basedonthe premise thatanyresources requiredforthe
restorationof critical organizationfunctionswill reside outside of the primaryfacility.
 Anyvital recordsrequiredforrecoverycanbe eitherretrievedorrecreatedfromanoff-site
locationandmovedto the recoveryfacilitywithin24hours.
1.11 DeclarationInitiatives
Sample’s decision process for implementing any of the three levels of recovery strategies to
support the restoration of critical organization functions are based on the following declaration
initiatives:
 Everyreasonable efforthasbeenmade toprovide critical servicesto Sample’scustomersbyfirst
attemptingtorestore the primaryfacilityand/or operate usingintra-dayprocedures.
 Afterall reasonable effortshave failedtorestore the primaryfacility,andusingmanual
proceduresseverelydegradesclientsupport, Sample wouldinvoke arecoverystrategythat
requiresthe relocationof personnelandresourcestoanalternate recoveryfacility.
 If the outage will clearlyextendedpastthe acceptable periodof time identifiedinthe Recovery
Portfolio,(Section2) adeclarationof disasterwill immediatelybe made.
1.12 Recovery Strategies
In order to facilitate a recovery regardless of the type or duration of disaster, Sample has
implemented multiple recovery strategies. These strategies are categorized into three (3) levels.
Each level is designed to provide an effective recovery solution equally matched to the duration
of the emergency condition.
 LEVEL 1: SHORT-TERMOUTAGE (RIDE-OUT) – INTRA-DAY
A short-term outage is defined as the period of time Sample does not require computerized
operations, or where an outage window of the same day or less would not allow adequate time to
restore / utilize automated recovery operations.
 LEVEL 2: MEDIUM-TERM OUTAGE (TEMPORARY) – UPTO SIX WEEKS
A medium-term outage is defined as the period of time that Sample will execute its formal
disaster recovery strategy, which includes actually declaring a disaster. A disaster may either be
declared company wide or only for the effected department or building. The decision to declare
a disaster will be based on the amount of time / expense that is required to implement the formal
recovery and the anticipated impact to Sample’s organization over this period of time.
 LEVEL 3: LONG-TERMOUTAGE (RELOCATION) – 6 WEEKS OR MORE
A long-term outage is defined, as the period of time that Sample will exceed the allowed
occupancy time of its primary recovery strategy. During this phase of recovery Sample will
initiate a physical move of personnel and resources.
1.13 TeamOverview
During an emergency each team member contributes the skills that they use in their everyday
work to the overall response.
1.14 TeamCharters
Crisis Management Team – The CMT is comprised of senior Sample management and is
responsible for authorizing declarations of disaster, emergency investment strategy, approving
public release of information, and ensuring donors and constituents are informed.
Emergency Response Team – The ERT is first on scene to assess the damage caused by the
disaster or ensure precautionary measures are taken in light of any impending disaster (e.g.
inclement weather, etc.) Once the ERT determines the extent of the disaster, they will either
order an evacuation of the facility or work with facilities to mitigate the effects to Sample.
Recovery Site Team– The RST Team provides enterprise-level support for both the physical
site and technology issues. The members of this team will ensure that the alternate site is ready,
and adequate for arriving recovery personnel. The RST will be the first at a meeting point or
alternate site in order to register arriving personnel.
Business Restoration Team – The BRT’S consist of personnel from each Sample area deemed
critical to the continuation of Sample. The captains of the BRT get updated status from the ERT
and the RST to pass on to their team members to ensure prompt recovery of each department.

2.4 Recovery Strategy Overview
Sample’s Business Continuity Recovery is based on the organization surviving the loss of
facilities and/or key personnel and systems during a disaster.
Once Sample’s ERT has determined that a declaration of disaster is required, the following
sequence of events will occur:
Steps: Instruction:
1: Evacuate affected facility. If the emergencyrequiresanevacuation of
employees,executeevacuationplanscontainedin
the EmergencyProceduressection.
2: Go to staging area. Follow buildingevacuationinstructions.
3: Determine length of outage. Review writtenandverbal damage assessment
reportsfromfacilitiesandcivil authoritiesand
thenestimate the amountof time the facilitywill
be uninhabitable.
4: Select disaster level. Basedon the estimateddurationof the outage,
declare the disastereventaseitheraL1 (Lessthan
48hrs.), L2 (48hrs. to 6 weeks),orL3 (6 weeksor
longer).
5: Activate alternate facilities. Contact alternate facilitiesidentifiedinthe
Facilitiessection. Confirmtheiravailabilityand
alertthemof estimatedarrival time.
6: Release personnel from the staging
area.
Once the disasterlevel hasbeenselected,release
all personnel fromthe stagingareatotheir
assignedrecoverylocation.
 Non-essential personnel–Home
 RecoverySite Team – Alternate Facility
 End Users – Alternate Facility
 CommandCenterStaff –Alternate Facility
 CrisisManagementTeam– Alternate

Each department head is responsible for ensuring compliance with this policy and that their respective plan component is tested no less than annually. Sample’s Disaster Recovery efforts exercise reasonable measures to protect employees, safeguard assets, and client accounts. 1.2 Introduction This document is the Business Continuity Plan for Sample located at 911 Recovery Drive, Any Town, USA 99999. It has been developed in compliance with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 1600. This plan was specifically designed to guide Sample through a recovery effort of specifically identified organization functions. At the onset of an emergency condition, Sample employees and resources will respond quickly to any condition, which could impact Sample’s ability to perform its critical organization functions. The procedures contained within have been designed to provide clear, concise and essential directions to recover from varying degrees of organization interruptions and disasters. 1.3 Confidentiality Statement This manual is classified as the confidential property of Sample. Due to the sensitive nature of the information contained herein, this manual is available only to those persons who have been designated as plan participants, assigned membership to one of the Sample recovery teams, or who otherwise play a direct role in the recovery process. This manual remains the property of Sample and may be repossessed at any time. Unauthorized use or duplication of this manual is strictly prohibited and may result in disciplinary action and/or civil prosecution.

    1.4 ManualDistribution Each planrecipient will receive and maintain two (2) copies of the disaster recovery manual; one copy will be kept in the plan recipient’s work area; the second copy will be kept at the plan recipient’s residence. Each manual has a control number to track its distribution. Replacement manuals and additional copies may be obtained from Sample’s Disaster Recovery Manager. Backup copies of all recovery documentation are maintained at Iron Mountain. 1.5 ManualReclamation Plan recipients who cease to be an active member of a disaster recovery team or an employee of Sample must surrender both copies of their disaster recovery manual to the Disaster Recovery Manager. Sample reserves any and all rights to pursue the return of these manuals. 1.6 Plan RevisionDate The latest manual revision date appears in the lower right hand corner of the footer. This date indicates the most published date of the plan section. 1.7 Defined Scenario A disaster is defined as a disruption of normal organization functions where the expected time for returning to normalcy would seriously impact Sample’s ability to maintain customer commitments and regulatory compliance. Sample’s recovery and restoration program is designed to support a recovery effort where Sample would not have access to its facilities and data at the onset of the emergency condition. 1.8 Recovery Objectives The Sample DisasterRecovery Plan was written with the following objectives:  To ensure the life/safetyof all Sample employeesthroughoutthe emergencycondition,disaster declaration,andrecoveryprocess.  To reestablishthe essential organizationrelatedservicesprovidedby Sample withintheir requiredrecoverywindowasidentifiedinthe recoveryportfolioinSection2at the declaration of disaster.  To suspendall non-essential activitiesuntilnormal andfull organizationfunctions have been restored.  To mitigate the impactto Sample’scustomersthroughthe rapidimplementationof effective recoverystrategiesasdefinedherein.  To reduce confusionandmisinformationbyprovidingaclearlydefinedcommandandcontrol structure.  To considerrelocationof personnel andfacilitiesasarecoverystrategyof last resort.

    1.9 Plan Exclusions TheSample Disaster Recovery Plan was developed with the following exclusions:  Successionof Management  Restorationof the PrimaryFacilities 1.10 PlanAssumptions Sample’s Disaster Recovery Plan was developed under certain assumptions in order for the plan to address a broad spectrum of disaster scenarios. These assumptions are:  Sample’srecoveryeffortsare basedonthe premise thatanyresources requiredforthe restorationof critical organizationfunctionswill reside outside of the primaryfacility.  Anyvital recordsrequiredforrecoverycanbe eitherretrievedorrecreatedfromanoff-site locationandmovedto the recoveryfacilitywithin24hours. 1.11 DeclarationInitiatives Sample’s decision process for implementing any of the three levels of recovery strategies to support the restoration of critical organization functions are based on the following declaration initiatives:  Everyreasonable efforthasbeenmade toprovide critical servicesto Sample’scustomersbyfirst attemptingtorestore the primaryfacilityand/or operate usingintra-dayprocedures.  Afterall reasonable effortshave failedtorestore the primaryfacility,andusingmanual proceduresseverelydegradesclientsupport, Sample wouldinvoke arecoverystrategythat requiresthe relocationof personnelandresourcestoanalternate recoveryfacility.  If the outage will clearlyextendedpastthe acceptable periodof time identifiedinthe Recovery Portfolio,(Section2) adeclarationof disasterwill immediatelybe made. 1.12 Recovery Strategies In order to facilitate a recovery regardless of the type or duration of disaster, Sample has implemented multiple recovery strategies. These strategies are categorized into three (3) levels. Each level is designed to provide an effective recovery solution equally matched to the duration of the emergency condition.  LEVEL 1: SHORT-TERMOUTAGE (RIDE-OUT) – INTRA-DAY A short-term outage is defined as the period of time Sample does not require computerized operations, or where an outage window of the same day or less would not allow adequate time to restore / utilize automated recovery operations.  LEVEL 2: MEDIUM-TERM OUTAGE (TEMPORARY) – UPTO SIX WEEKS
  • 5.
    A medium-term outageis defined as the period of time that Sample will execute its formal disaster recovery strategy, which includes actually declaring a disaster. A disaster may either be declared company wide or only for the effected department or building. The decision to declare a disaster will be based on the amount of time / expense that is required to implement the formal recovery and the anticipated impact to Sample’s organization over this period of time.  LEVEL 3: LONG-TERMOUTAGE (RELOCATION) – 6 WEEKS OR MORE A long-term outage is defined, as the period of time that Sample will exceed the allowed occupancy time of its primary recovery strategy. During this phase of recovery Sample will initiate a physical move of personnel and resources. 1.13 TeamOverview During an emergency each team member contributes the skills that they use in their everyday work to the overall response. 1.14 TeamCharters Crisis Management Team – The CMT is comprised of senior Sample management and is responsible for authorizing declarations of disaster, emergency investment strategy, approving public release of information, and ensuring donors and constituents are informed. Emergency Response Team – The ERT is first on scene to assess the damage caused by the disaster or ensure precautionary measures are taken in light of any impending disaster (e.g. inclement weather, etc.) Once the ERT determines the extent of the disaster, they will either order an evacuation of the facility or work with facilities to mitigate the effects to Sample. Recovery Site Team– The RST Team provides enterprise-level support for both the physical site and technology issues. The members of this team will ensure that the alternate site is ready, and adequate for arriving recovery personnel. The RST will be the first at a meeting point or alternate site in order to register arriving personnel. Business Restoration Team – The BRT’S consist of personnel from each Sample area deemed critical to the continuation of Sample. The captains of the BRT get updated status from the ERT and the RST to pass on to their team members to ensure prompt recovery of each department. 2.0 Disaster Recovery Plan Recovery Strategies The following are the identified recovery strategies for the organization: RecoveryArea: Primary Strategy: Backup Strategy: Office Space MobilizationTime:( ) MobilizationTime:( )

Once Sample’s ERT has determined that a declaration of disaster is required, the following sequence of events will occur: Steps: Instruction: 1: Evacuate affected facility. If the emergencyrequiresanevacuation of employees,executeevacuationplanscontainedin the EmergencyProceduressection. 2: Go to staging area. Follow buildingevacuationinstructions. 3: Determine length of outage. Review writtenandverbal damage assessment reportsfromfacilitiesandcivil authoritiesand thenestimate the amountof time the facilitywill be uninhabitable. 4: Select disaster level. Basedon the estimateddurationof the outage, declare the disastereventaseitheraL1 (Lessthan 48hrs.), L2 (48hrs. to 6 weeks),orL3 (6 weeksor longer). 5: Activate alternate facilities. Contact alternate facilitiesidentifiedinthe Facilitiessection. Confirmtheiravailabilityand alertthemof estimatedarrival time. 6: Release personnel from the staging area. Once the disasterlevel hasbeenselected,release all personnel fromthe stagingareatotheir assignedrecoverylocation.  Non-essential personnel–Home
