Every day there are disasters in the world. These events seem far away and to always affect other people. The reality is that a disaster, either man-made or natural, can strike anywhere and at any time. Disaster recovery is not easy unless a plan is already in place. Is your business ready?
Global Climate Change
Climate change is a reality. Weather patterns are shifting and creating natural disasters in places considered relatively safe just a few years ago. Tornadoes and strong wind shear events are happening in more places during more of the year. The same storms that bring these wind events have also flooded areas that have never experienced water problems on a disaster level before.
Shorten Recovery Time
Recovery from weather events is complex. Basic services remain offline for various amounts of time and hinder business recovery efforts. Getting a business back up and running during this time is difficult, if not impossible. When basic service restoration is complete, finding out data is unrecoverable stops business recovery in its tracks. Planning and implementation of a disaster plan before the event occurs lessens the recovery time.
Preparation Now Saves Time Later
Preparing for disaster does take time and resources. It is an investment even when there is no guarantee a disaster will strike. When a disaster does occur, it is necessary to have the tools in place to recover quickly. Having necessary files to run your business backed up and stored off-site makes recovery more efficient. This allows quicker recovery and restoration of business.
