Re: Disaster Recovery Plan

[Valerie Vogel <vvogel () EDUCAUSE EDU>]

Our Information Security Guide (maintained by members of the higher ed community) includes a chapter on Business 
Continuity and Disaster Recovery with links to additional resources: 
https://www.educause.edu/focus-areas-and-initiatives/policy-and-security/cybersecurity-program/resources/information-security-guide/business-continuity-and-disaster-recovery

You might also consider checking out the Department of Homeland Security’s Campus Resilience (CR) Program, which has 
exercise starter kits and templates. Read the June 2018 press 
release<https://www.dhs.gov/news/2018/06/05/cr-program-releases-new-exercise-starter-kits-cybersecurity-hurricanes-and-active>
 or visit the program page: https://www.dhs.gov/academicresilience

Hopefully other members of this group will have plans they can share, as well!

Thank you,
Valerie

Thank you for asking Johnny!  I’d really like to see sample Disaster Recovery Plans as well, and pledge the same 
highest degree of confidentiality.

Additionally, if anyone has advice on kickstarting a total re-write of a Disaster Recovery Plan, I’d be most 
appreciative to learn anything you have to share..

Thank you!

Take care,
Cris

Greetings!

I am in desperate need of a sample Disaster Recovery Plan. I pledge the highest degree of confidentiality and 
sensitivity. The format I have in mind is a list of potential “disasters,” followed by an action list for each. 
However, I am not married to any particular format. Can someone lend me a hand?

Thank you!

Johnny
