Obtaining The Basics
Creating a disaster recovery and business continuity plan is a complex task. However, certain jobs can be done in advance of planning.One of these is to gather the necessary documents and other requisite information, so that these are to hand when the plan is actually created.

- List of major suppliers and their contact details
- List of emergency services and their telephone numbers
- Staff contact information
