Overview: The article elucidates the consequences of different disasters and tries to give some steps in order to recover the situation. A disaster always happens to someone else, and may be ugly. However, that disaster is always entertaining. When a disaster strikes a business, the effects are devastating. Disasters range in type and severity according to environmental conditions and the human factors involved. The three primary goals of disaster recovery and business resumption planning are to eliminate or reduce the potential for injuries or the loss of human life, damage to facilities, and loss of assets and records. One should immediately invoke emergency provisions of the plan to stabilize the effects of the disaster, allowing for appropriate assessment and the beginning of recovery efforts. Again, a company should implement the procedures contained in the plan according to the type and impact of the disaster. While implementing these procedures, one should prioritize all recovery efforts by considering: employees, customers, facilities, assets, and records.
