Local governments across the nation face one of their greatest challenges as they respond to the events of September 11 and prepare to wrestle with the very real prospect of having to deal quickly and effectively with large-scale disasters such as biological warfare in their own cities and counties.

This manual and companion CD are authored by leading experts in the field of disaster recovery/contingency planning. Geoff Wold and Tina Vick have assisted dozens of government organizations and financial institutions in developing comprehensive business continuity plans that are both viable and cost-effective.

The book will guide you step by step through the creation of a disaster recovery plan, enabling you to:

Reduce disruption to normal operations and even the probability of disruption
Reduce reliance on key personnel and minimize decision-making during a disaster
Educate employees in recovery strategies and ensure organizational stability and safety of personnel and the public in the event of a disaster
Put the planning documents on your Intranet and use them collaboratively

The workbook format is designed to provide government organizations with a detailed description of the process and methodology for developing a clear, comprehensive plan that will enable their entity to continue or resume functioning in the event of a disaster.

The Planning Process:

Project Initiation
Business Impact Analysis and Risk Assessment
Recovery Strategies
Plan Development
Training and Testing

Checklists of elements needed in the planning and development phases
Sample Documents to modify for your government organization's specific needs
Sample Policies covering all aspects of a business continuity plan
Glossary of terms associated with a business continuity plan
User Guide for accompanying CD.

The entire manual is included on CD and is fully searchable. The CD also includes Microsoft Word® and Excel® documents – exhibits, charts, tables, worksheets, sample policies and RFPs – that you can change to fit the needs of your organization and print for distribution.
