The three main area to
focus on in your disaster planning are:
1) People -- Make sure your staff know what to do before, during,and after
a disaster ... for your business (as well as their personal residences and
family).
2) Things -- Plan alternate work site and replacement equipment to conduct
your business.
3) Data -- Back up all of your data daily (& store offsite). And note
that CDs and DVDs begin to fail at about 150 degrees.
