Primary elements of the disaster recovery process - - The recovery team: Will be clearly defined with the mandate to implement the recovery procedures at the declaration of the disaster. The primary task is to get the pre-defined critical business functions operating at the alternate backup processing site.
- The salvage team: Will be dispatched to return the primary site to normal processing environmental conditions. This team is often given the authority to declare when the site is resumptive or not.
- Normal operations resume: Full procedures on how the company will return production processing from the alternate site to the primary site with the minimum of disruption and risk. The emergency is not over until all operations are back in full production mode at the primary site.
- Other recovery issues: - Interfacing with external groups - Employee relations - Fraud and crime - Financial disbursement - Media relations
