Address
Contact Names, Phone, Cell, and Pager Numbers

Critical Dependencies

Types of Disasters to Consider
Describe the types of events that would lead to a Disaster Declaration. The personnel authorized to
declare a disaster are listed in the Initial Response section of this document along with their names
and phone contact information in the order that they should be called. Examples of events that
could lead to a Disaster Declaration are:
Type of Disaster
Severity
Actions to be taken
Loss of Power
High
Contact Building Management, Declare Disaster
Flood
Can not Access Building
Fire
Bomb Threat
Unavailability of Personnel
The types of disaster listed above will all have different impacts on the Business Unit’s ability to
continue functioning, so a guideline has been established to help you decide when, and if, to
declare a disaster and move operations to the recovery facility. Disaster Time is based on
Criticality and Recovery Time Option (RTO). If you have a RTO of 4 hours and the First
Responders say that your site will be lost for 12 – 18 hours, then you should initiate recovery
procedures right away.
Recovery Strategies will be developed to respond to any of the Disaster Types listed above. These
strategies must first protect people, then company business processes, applications, and locations.
Recovery Strategies will be based on 1 Day, 3 Day, 5 Day, Weeks 1-3, and Week 4-6 disaster
event durations and the tasks to be performed at that time of the event.
