It is not realistic to assume that any business is immune to natural or man-made disasters not in a world in which a seemingly
endless procession of fires, floods, hurricanes, explosions, power outages and bombings have struck businesses in all parts
of the world.
Consider these odds: one out of two businesses never returns to the marketplace following a major disaster. Of those that
do, half go bankrupt within three years. The ones that survive plan their response to a disaster before it strikes.
Businesses need to prepare to meet the needs of their customers regardless of any disruptions that they may experience.Companies
must recognize their vulnerability to disaster and their position in a competitive marketplace as the first step in disaster
recovery planning.

Many companies begin disaster recovery planning by writing their plan without adequate preparation.Knowledge of the business
is essential for effective planning, but problems often arise.
