While some geographical locations are more susceptible to certain natural disasters than others, no business is immune from severe weather. Regardless of the disaster scenario, IT disruptions and telecom outages are likely to occur. Furthermore, a business is impacted twice by a disaster—during the event itself and in the chaos that usually follows.  \nNatural Disasters  \nAdverse Weather  \n• Blizzards  \n• Dust & Wind Storms  \n• Hurricanes  \n• Ice Storms  \n• Tornadoes Avalanches Earthquakes Floods Landslides Tsunamis Volcano Eruptions  \nWildfires  \nMan-Made Disasters  \nBlackouts  \nCivil Disturbance & Riots  \nCyber Attacks & Security Incidents Electronic Incursions & Data Breaches Equipment Failure  \n• Hard Drives & Servers  \n• Burst Pipes & Plumbing/Sewage Backup  \n• Sprinkler System Fire  \nHostage Situations & Random Acts of Violence Industrial Accidents & HazMat Situations Plane Crashes  \nRoof Leaks  \nSabotage, Terrorism, Vandalism & War Utility Infrastructure Failures & Outages  \n• Electricity, Gas, Water  \n• Internet & VPN Connectivity  \n• Telephone Service (cell, land, VOIP)  \nElectrical distributors are more likely to experience flooding as a result of burst pipes, clogged toilets, sewage back-ups, sprinkler system failures, or even water damage from a nearby fire rather than an overflowing river. Branch offices may have to be evacuated due to accidental releases of hazardous materials, bomb threats, fires, hostage situations, random acts of violence, or terrorist attacks. Data loss from electronic intrusions, security incidents, and IT equipment failure—including hard drives and servers—is almost guaranteed.  \nIs your information technology department prepared for the inevitable?  \n1 For information on business continuity planning, [visit www.naed.org/disasterplan/](visit www.naed.org/disasterplan/)  \nIT DISASTER RECOVERY PLANNING  \nWhy IT Disaster Recovery Planning is Important to Electrical Distribution   \nDeveloping an IT disaster recovery plan is the first step in ensuring business continuity. In the era of Internet dependent services, IT disaster recovery planning can enhance your company’s competitiveness in the marketplace, improve business processes, standardize the use of technology company-wide, increase “uptime”for critical IT equipment, and develop new technical expertise within your organization.  \nWhat will you do if your information technology systems stop working? Consider these statistics:  \n1. The survival rate of companies without an IT disaster recovery plan is less than 10% . 2. 97% of data loss is not caused by a natural disaster.  \n3. Every week 140,000 hard drives crash in the United States.  \n4. The average cost of company downtime due to data loss is $84,000- $90,000 per hour.  \n5. Only 6% of companies suffering from a catastrophic data loss survive, 43% never reopen, and 51% close within two years.  \nThings to Consider When Developing Your IT Disaster Plan   \nCommunicating information is central to every electrical distributor’s operations. Your IT disaster recovery plan must spell out the actions to be taken to protect your business, communicate with employees, and continue to service customers.  \n1. Most Likely Disaster Scenarios.  \nThe first step in creating your IT disaster recov","cbCaikh2IBCUJr8V","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikh2IBCUJr8V","pdf",634435,7,"English","# IT Disaster Recovery Planning\n## Executive Guide context\n## IT Disaster Recovery definition and purpose\n## Possible Disaster Scenarios\n### Natural Disasters\n### Man-Made Disasters\n## Why IT Disaster Recovery Planning is important\n## Things to Consider When Developing Your IT Disaster Plan\n### Most Likely Disaster Scenarios\n### IT Hardware, Processes, Software, and Systems Currently in Use\n### How Quickly Each IT Service Should Be Restored","[{\"question\":\"What is IT Disaster Recovery (DR) and how does it relate to business continuity planning?\",\"answer\":\"IT DR is a subset of business continuity planning focused on the technology systems that support business functions.
