INTRODUCTION

Events over the last several years — Sept. 11; bush fires, earthquakes, and mudslides in the West coast of North America; massive floods in China; and the Boxing Day tsunami in Southeast Asia — have forced us to rethink what we consider critical infrastructure. These events brought about the loss of essential services, causing widespread panic and confusion amongst a population unable to handle the emotional and physical stress of what was unfolding before them.

Almost all organizations — whether commercial or governmental — rely on some form of technology to manage the various parts of their operations. A disruption to the availability of any of these resources, if even for a few hours, can have serious consequences for their ability to function at normal capacity. For organizations that provide mission critical services such as power plants, telecommunications facilities, and national defense agencies, disruptions must be kept to a minimum or, if possible, avoided altogether.

How an organization responds to threats during and after a crisis will determine whether they emerge on the other side intact or cause them to cease operations entirely. This is where disaster recovery planning comes into play.
