Standard Checklist Criteria For Business Recovery
The intent of this "Standard Checklist" is to provide a means of creating a "Business Recovery" manual for your business. The manual would be used by you in the event that you had to execute a recovery of your business due to a natural or man-made disaster.
Protect Business Records and Inventory
Most businesses keep on-site records and files (both hardcopy and electronic) that are essential to normal operations. Some businesses also store raw materials and product inventory. The loss of essential records, files, and other materials during a disaster is commonplace and can not only add to your damage costs, but also delay your return to normal operations. The longer your business is not operating, the more likely you are to lose customers permanently to your competitors.
