It is never too early to start preparing for the next Disaster

A couple of weeks ago, an article in the trade magazine Processor titled "Resolving Disaster Recovery Problems: What To Do When Even The Best-Laid Plans Hit Snags" by Carmi Levy started dialogue on the issue of Disaster Planning. The article talked about issues that even the best Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) can face. Chiefly, the realization that DRPs are still subject to too many internal and external influences that can slow it down or stop it dead in its tracks.

Carmi Levy's article raises some very good questions, as well as providing some very good answers and ideas on which to build on.

As of today (2/16/09) we are 104 days from the start of the 2009 Hurricane Season. Folks, the clock is ticking and June 1, 2009 will be here before you know it. So, it is never too early to start preparing for the next one.

I invite you to read the article for yourself. You can get
• a PDF copy of the Carmi Levy's article in Processor Magazine (Volume 31 Number 6) for February 6, 2009.
