Swine Flu - DRP - BCP - CIO Issue
What swine flu has done is reminded us all of the necessity to plan for threat scenarios that affect people more than they do data centers and other physical corporate facilities. Alternate work area facilities, mobile recovery units, and other workforce recovery strategies are not effective when people are home sick or there are travel bans in place. In these scenarios, your workforce recovery strategy must rely on remote access solutions or virtual workforce solutions. Large numbers of employees out sick will affect the business (revenue) and cost your company a lot of money in productivity loss (you still pay employees their salary when they are out).  In a recent Janco Associates survey, they asked over 300 DRP/BCP decision makers if their company had strategies for workforce recovery in their BCPs, 71% said yes. This means that 29% of you out there have a lot of work to do. Of the 71% that have strategies in place, 82% use remote access procedures as part of their strategy. The US Center for Disease Control (CDC) has confirmed thousands of cases of swine flu in the United States and as other countries including Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Israel, Spain, and all of Europe has confirmed cases. This means health officials have confirmed that the disease can spread person-to-person and has the potential to cause “community-level” outbreaks. IT disaster recovery is not necessarily business continuity.  In addition there is a good chance that the plan is out of date and that it has not been exercised in a long time. A plan walk through is no substitute for a more thorough exercise but it is a good place to start. Validate the currency of the plan and the procedures. Validate team member, roles, and responsibilities. Understand what technology and services you currently have in place.

Chile: Mapuche Communities Affected by Earthquake
After the February 27 earthquake in Chile, the media and the government have faced strong criticism for their lack of coverage and support for the small Mapuche indigenous communities closest to the epicenter. Mapuche leaders have called out for international aid.

Roles in Developing a Disaster Recovery Plan
The disaster recovery policy must be reviewed at least annually to assure its relevance. Just as in the development of such a policy, a planning team that consists of upper management, and personnel from information security, information technology, human resources, or other operations should be assembled to review the disaster policy. Roles and responsibilities of the planning team should be as follows: Perform an initial risk assessment to determine current information systems vulnerabilities. Perform an initial business impact analysis to document and understand the interdependencies among business processes and determine how the business would be affected by an information systems outage. Take an inventory of information systems assets such as computer hardware, software, applications, and data. Identify single points of failure within the information systems infrastructure. Identify critical applications, systems, and data. Prioritize key business functions. The Disaster Recovery Plan Template has tools that can be used immediately and defined in detail all of these responsiblities and provides a work plan that can be use as is.
