The only complete, practical guide of its kind, Disaster Planningand Recovery shows facility professionals how to prepare for, copewith, and rebound from a disaster. Alan Levitt clearly demonstratesthat the first major step toward minimizing risk and optimizingrecovery time following an emergency is to formulate acomprehensive disaster plan. Drawing upon his years of experienceas a business continuity expert--and using fascinating andinstructive vignettes and case studies (many of them previouslyunpublished) to illustrate his points--he shows you how to developthe most cost-effective plan possible.
Rather than offer a set of one-size-fits-all checklists andprocedures, Levitt supplies a rational framework and provenstrategies for formulating a plan tailored to your business. Heshows you how to set reasonable goals that will allow you to reactmore quickly and effectively without losing sight of businessoutcomes. And he provides the means for researching and conductingthe five phases of a comprehensive disaster/recovery plan:identifying potential disasters; quantifying the risk ofoccurrence; establishing parameters for reducing that risk;forecasting the potential impact a disaster can have on personnel,plant, and business processes; and establishing systems forcounterbalancing those impacts.
Throughout Disaster Planning and Recovery, the emphasis is on humanfactors. Levitt describes techniques for efficiently mobilizingstaff in an emergency, working effectively with key departments,such as IT, and most importantly, easing the stress that disasterscan impose on staff members. Disaster Planning and Recovery is anindispensable resource for facility professionals, human resourcesmanagers, building owners and managers, architects, designers, andplanners.
