Declaration Procedures
Disaster Declaration procedures are an important topic because it initiates procedures to transfer
operations from a Primary Site to an Alternate Site and redirects Associates and other Personnel to
perform their normal duties in a different manner. When a Disaster is declared the Alternate Site
Vendor will begin charging and they will initiate Procedures to prepare to receive personnel and
supplies from the Primary Site. For these reasons, and more, it is important to develop and
implement Disaster Declaration Procedures as described here.
Disaster Time
A disaster declaration will be made within _____ hours of the incident that disrupted normal
business operations, unless the time needed to clear the disaster event is less that the time needed to
move operations to the Recovery Facility.
Disaster Time is based on Criticality and RTO. It is used as a guideline for estimating the time
needed to declare a disaster, after the event has occurred and you have weighed all available
information from First Responders and other Enterprise Resiliency personnel.
Declaration Statement
A disaster declaration is a formal notification to the recovery site manager that the business unit is
experiencing a disaster and wants to move to the recovery facility.
Provide samples of declaration statements so that the Authorized Associate will know what best to
say when declaring a disaster to the recovery site vendor representative.
Disaster declaration procedures will vary by recovery site. Refer to the procedures
established by the internal work area recovery site, or your external hot site vendor,
as appropriate.
Include a written procedure for declaring a disaster under the General Recovery
Activities - Recovery Procedures, section 4 of your Business Recovery Plan.
