Michigan Disaster Recovery

Michigan disaster recovery is also in the news. Here is part of the approach from the State of Michigan.

Michigan disaster recovery – good business sense

Disaster Recovery and Business Resumption planning directly supports an organization's goal of continued operations. Organizations practice contingency planning because it makes good business sense.

To avert potential contingencies and disasters or minimize the damage they cause, organizations can take steps early to control the event. Generally called Disaster Recovery/Business Resumption Planning, this activity is closely related to incident handling, which primarily addresses malicious technical threats such as hackers and viruses.

Michigan disaster recovery – critical functions

Disaster Recovery/Business Resumption Planning involves more than planning for a move offsite after a disaster destroys a data center. It also addresses how to keep an organization's critical functions operating in the event of disruptions, both large and small. This broader perspective on Disaster Recovery/Business Resumption Planning is based on the distribution of computer support throughout an organization.

A Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) is defined as the documentation that delineates all the roles and responsibilities for SOM staff, along with the steps that must be taken to successfully move the production processing performed at the site of the disaster to the Disaster Recovery site.
