Part 1: Create a disaster recovery plan for your new E-business. Consider the disasters that are most likely to strike in the Midwest. Consider that the location of your new warehouse is next to an above ground jet fuel storage facility. Also document the backup and restore policies that will support the disaster recovery plan.
Part 2: Describe the types of disasters that could most likely hit your sites.
Prioritize the business units that would have to be up and running immediately after a disaster.
What is the name of the hot site that can have you running immediately in the case of a major disaster?
What types of communications do you have with your customers in case of disaster?
Through which public relations firm do you contract to craft and disseminate messages in the event of a disaster?
Part 3: Based on what you have learned, in what situations would you advise a high cost for disaster recovery infrastructure? Depending on the probability of risk, how much would you spend on disaster recovery?
