Step 4: Recovery - |
| |
Recovery
operations should begin as soon as it is safely possible to do so
following the interruption to organizational operations.
If the interruption occurred during working hours, the first priority is
to account for all involved during it. Make sure everyone that
was on your premises is safe before you do anything else!
Only AFTER
you have checked and confirmed that everyone is safe should you begin to
implement your recovery plan.
(Remember, one of the recommendations in Step
2 was to "test your plan" to discover any missing steps or
unforeseen challenges.)
Have You Tested Your Plan?
If "no" then you are still as ready to begin as you ever will
be, but be advised in advance to anticipate something to go wrong, because
anything that can possibly go wrong probably will.
If "yes" and you made appropriate corrections or adjustments to
it, you're as ready to begin as you ever will be. Don't skip any of
the steps you included in it, and by all means, don't attempt to take any
shortcuts.
The plan, if you have done it correctly, will have checklists you can use
to cover each step -- one by one -- of the recovery process.
Share The Responsibilities
But don't attempt to do it alone! If the incident occurred during
your normal hours of operation, carefully review your available staff
resources and try to coordinate your recovery efforts by using those
resources.
Give assignments that are appropriate to each individuals involvement in
your operation and your previous knowledge of their skills and
abilities.
Recovery Is Also A Process
If you enjoy flying by the seat of your pants, you have just earned
yourself an "E-Ticket" to Disneyland and are eligible for all of
the bumps and bruises that result from an uncharted journey.
But we recommend that you get some badly needed assistance from those with
previous experienced or expertise in such situations. True, it will
probably be quite expensive, but it won't be nearly as expensive as the
delays that will result in resuming normal operations because of all the
potential mistakes that are directly ahead of you.
