The following assumptions have been established as the basis for the
development of the Disaster Recovery Plan:
Version 3.0
Although the plan is designed for worst case, inherent in the plan
strategy is the ability to recover up to the most minor interruption,
which is perhaps a more likely situation.
The plan is base upon a sufficient number of center staff not being
incapacitated to implement and affect recovery. Therefore, the
level of detail of the plan is written to a staff experienced in the
Companys computer services. Development, testing and
implementation of new technologies and applications are
suspended so that all resources are available to recover existing
critical production processing.

for a status meeting could be defined as approved minutes of the meeting and the deliverable for a function
assessment could be a completed Application Inventory and Business Impact Questionnaire for the function
