    Typical contents of a disaster plan are:

    >Minimise physical risks; take regular backups of data
    >Contingency planning: standby procedures, recovery procedures, personnel
    management:
    – Define responsibilities of staff members. Remember, normal working will have
    been disrupted.
    – Risk assessment – where is most attention needed? Where are we most
    vulnerable?
    – Prioritise – which elements of the system are the most vital to get back?
    – Back-ups and stand-by arrangements – if the computer is damaged, a standby
    machine (hardware duplication) will be able to pick up the processing. It should
    be located at a remote site.
    -Communication with staff and customers. A disaster can undermine confidence so
    good PR is essential.
    > Business continuity planning. How will the business be carried on until normal service is
    resumed?
