A good disaster plan is a blueprint of how a business will respond in a disaster and what steps it will take to protect itself and its people. Key issues for any business to consider when developing a plan are its people, information, location, equipment, inventory and transportation.

Protecting people: The most important asset for any business is its people.

A disaster plan should spell out how staff will be evacuated in case of an emergency during working hours, how to bring people back together after an incident, and how to coordinate them and get them to work at a new location.
