Business Continuity Planning and Disaster Recovery

The recent widespread flooding that impacted over half of Tennessee's counties highlights the importance of having an up-to-date disaster recovery or business continuity plan. While many communities are still in the recovery process, those that are not may want to take this time to review and analyze their plans. There are many resources available on the Internet related to disaster recovery and business continuity. One detailed publication developed by the National Fire Protection Association sets standards for development and management of a disaster/emergency management plan and business continuity program. That resource is available here.
